You'll have to include your XML as text rather than as, well, XML.
One possibility is to use an XML serializer written in XML, search
the list archive to find it. Another approach is to use a different
tool, like a stream editor, to wrap your source XML in a CDATA
(watch out if it can contain CDATA terminators itself).
