Can't xml plist handle CDATA? Inside a CDATA block just about anything is
allowed (expect the closing CDATA marker). That would allow regex expressions
to be a bit more readable.
In that case it would go like this
<string><![CDATA[(?x:
(?> ' (?s: \\. | [^'] )*? (?: ' | $ ) ) |
(?> " (?s: \\. | [^"] )*? (?: " | $ ) )
)]]></string>
