I asked Don about this before when I wrote some validation utilities for the xql files. I think his view was that it was a little annoying to write correct xml (manifestly true) and that turning all the extant files into valid xml was not a high priority.

I did validate all the files in 4.6 at one point so a part from the quoting problem they should now all be clean (and QD does an ns_quotehtml on the query text before it feeds it to ns_xml so it is actually parsed with a standard xml parser rather than something hand rolled).

I think it's easy enough to clean up with a simple script, maybe it's time to do it. I would also like to do some stuff to cache the parse across restarts since I would like the server restart to be quicker and as it stands the qd parse is an appreciable fraction of the startup time.
