(*  Title:      Pure/General/yxml.ML
    Author:     Makarius

Efficient text representation of XML trees using extra characters X
and Y -- no escaping, may nest marked text verbatim.

Markup <elem att="val" ...>...body...</elem> is encoded as:

  X Y name Y att=val ... X
  ...
  body
  ...
  X Y X
