Description
We overly XMLified certain areas:
- collation
- transforms
- rbnf
We have converted collation back to flat versions using CDATA, and plan to do the same for transforms.
We should do the same with RBNF.

Though, I'd like to be able to use << and >> in the rule syntax. Using ←← and →→ is just not that practical when using the average keyboard, and that is not supported by ICU's RBNF natively.

You don't have to change the syntax. Look at what we did for collation.

- Owner changed from anybody to grhoten
- Priority changed from assess to critical
- Status changed from new to accepted
- Component changed from unknown to numbers
- Type changed from unknown to data
Higher priority, since this is the last of the formats that should be de-xmlified.
Example of using CDATA
<collations > <collation type="standard"> <cr><![CDATA[ &N<<<ʼn ]]></cr> </collation> </collations>
I like this idea. It will be easier for the Number Format Tester.
