Forgot to mention parsers are not obligated to respect whitespace and 
newlines unless it's in a <![CDATA[ ]]> tag, though they usually do (and 
they have flags to control this).  It's like the <PRE> tag in HTML in 
that respect.  This may be signicant to you in the long description.

But either use &amp; &gt; &lt; or <![CDATA[ & < > ]]> but not both.
