Note to engineers
The ampersand, quotes, as well as < and > characters are not considered escaping character. The ampersand is not escaped. The WFC TM format is not a member of the SGML/HTML/XML family. The WFC TM format is simple text, tab-delimited.
Limitation: A WFC TM would create a slightly fuzzy match with text containing the &tX; placeholder, as in this very paragraph. That is a known and accepted minor limitation that has not happened yet in decades.
