Fix pretty printing

 as long as it results in valid XML.
 The response is validated against a schema.
 
+#### XML Data Flow
+Entries store their content as raw text. During context compilation, the XML formatter 
+wraps text content in CDATA sections, except when the content contains CDATA closing sequences.
+In those cases, the formatter uses standard XML escaping.
+
+This separation between storage and formatting:
+- Keeps entry data clean and unescaped
+- Centralizes XML formatting rules
+- Makes it easy to change escaping rules without modifying entries
+- Allows different formatting for different use cases
+
 The Context is escaped using CDATA blocks.
 Except when the data contains CDATA closing sequences.
 Then the whole block is escaped using standard XML escaping.
