If it's well-formed XML then I'd think dropping it into atom:content using type="application/xml" would be acceptable. You'd just end up losing that bit of semantic metadata that tells you exactly what kind of XML it is. If you want to use the text/vnd.IPTC.NewsML media type to identify the type of XML, then you'd have to escape the markup and treat it like text. If the NewsML folks want to be able to use a proper media type to identify their stuff AND treat it as XML, they should come up with an appropriate media type registration (e.g. application/newsml+xml, etc).
