Do we even know that annotations are, in general, proper XHTML?
We've documented them as being HTML (though they're not even properly
treated as that ATM; we don't handle character entities right at all),
and HTML in real life is rarely well-formed XML.  I'm worried that if
we start parsing it as XML, we'll start getting parse errors
who-knows-where...
