You need to separate the task description fully from the example so others can follow the description alone. --Paddy3118 19:43, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

How about extending the task by adding a 'special' name that needs escaping, such as '<None>', and ask for sample output. You would then force entries to handle escaped characters. --Paddy3118 05:15, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

On one level that'd be good, but on another it's not so good. (XML docs aren't supposed to contain magic flag values in text nodes; that's what using a different elements is for...) —Donal Fellows 09:00, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
Why not simply have a name in the list which includes something with a named entity, like the German "Jürgen" ("J&uuml;rgen") or the french "André" ("Andr&eacute;")? --Ce 09:18, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
