The only case where that would happen would be if someone
started a change description with one of the markers, which
I think you'll agree is very unlikely to actually happen.
But if you think we should prevent it altogether, it's
fairly simple to tweak the script and add a marker in front
of the change description in the XSLT, and strip it later
in the Python code so that it doesn't ultimately show up in
the NEWS file.
Implementing this idea actually allowed me to shave ~10 lines
off the Python script :)
Do you still have concerns not addressed by my replies or
are you okay with me going ahead with this?
As I mentioned earlier, I'd like to avoid having this on
the list for too long: 3.0.0 is not very far away, so it's
about time to get the release notes into shape and I'd prefer
using the new source format right away instead of having to
convert later.
