As a heavy user of Genmon, I don't really see the <txt> interface as XML so
much as it is simply a set of sentinel strings that mark sections of the
command's output, hence the surprise that & didn't work.  I'd like to be able
to make scripts as simple as possible while still being able to use the full
features of Genmon, which includes not requiring escaping when the only things
we have to avoid in practice are the strings </txt>, <img>, <tool>, <cmd>, and
<bar>.  It's really no different from the non-"XML" version requiring you to
avoid having <txt>.*</txt>, <img>.*</img>, etc in your output.

My two cents is that I'd prefer ease-of-scripting over the fuzzy feeling
knowing that my "XML" is true XML any day :)
