[plt-scheme] using pi structs in xml.ss

Ah, it appears that xml.ss, it looks like it illegal to have CDATA in
the attribute values. So, since PHP is not valid XML, I think you will
have difficulty using xml.ss to work with it. You could just copy
xml.ss and hack it to allow you to put in arbitrary text in those
places.
