Sometimes i end up with braces in comments, or using entities, in order to keep them balanced, as it's an incredibly useful too to check balancing when there are cryptic errors. More importantly, it's weird magic that will catch someone out when they want to replace a close curly brace with a close paren. I like, expand-attributes="no" to go with expand-text="no" though. If we followed Simon's old suggestion, we'd use single quotes round attributes to be treated literally and double for AVTs, but none of the main XML parsers report that information.
