<tag attr='<tag>'/> is not legal ... but note that <tag attr='tag>'/> is
legal ...

This representation (single stanza wrapped inside a stream root element)
is what I am currently using in my new changes to jadc2s.

Some implementations (e.g. jabberd14, jabberd2) even only store and
process the stanza without the stream root element. So a stanza wrapped
by the root element should be okay as well.
