Heh.

Yes.  In fact, that's the default behaviour: data in
an XML document doesn't _do_ anything on its own
until some process interprets it.  

Also, you may find the <![CDATA[ ... ]]>  construct helpful.
Inside a CDATA section, you don't have to escape &, <, or > ,
so you can basically copy-and-paste whatever you want
as long as it doesn't contain the closing delimiter "]]> ".

Quoting <URL: http://www.flightlab.com/~joe/sgml/faq-not.txt> ,
section 3, question 2:

| Q.  How do I include JavaScript inside an XML document?
|
| A.  Easy!  Just write:
|
|         <code notation="JavaScript"> <![CDATA[
|         ... your JavaScript code goes here ...
|         ... make sure it doesn't contain the sequence "]]> "...
|         ]]> 
|         </code> 


This is the first time I've ever heard anyone ask that question
who was expecting that answer though...
