I just looked up the official XML spec here:

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/

and it is pretty clear that no "<" characters are allowed in attribute values:

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-AttValue

So I've swung from not caring too much to thinking we should definitely go
with "contextoffset" and "length" attributes, just so we'll be able to
validate --api
output with an XML parser.   It also means it will be able to be
displayed nicely in a browser.
