But correct me if I'm wrong, any of these could appear as content under each
of the four mode/type combinations, so it's kind of back-to-front for
disambiguating.

What is probably needed is a clear description of _what_should_be_displayed_
(maybe an error) by an newsreader in every one of these circumstances:

A: mode="xml" type="text/plain"
> 1: I <3 NY
> 2: I <3 NY
> 3: I <strong>&lt;3</strong> NY
> 4: I &lt;strong&gt;&amp;lt;3&lt;/strong&gt; NY

B: mode="escaped" type="text/plain"
> 1: I &lt;3 NY
> 2: I &amp;lt;3 NY
> 3: I <strong>&lt;3</strong> NY
> 4: I &lt;strong&gt;&amp;lt;3&lt;/strong&gt; NY

C: mode="xml" type="text/html"
> 1: I &lt;3 NY
> 2: I &amp;lt;3 NY
> 3: I <strong>&lt;3</strong> NY
> 4: I &lt;strong&gt;&amp;lt;3&lt;/strong&gt; NY

D:  mode="escaped" type="text/html"
> 1: I &lt;3 NY
> 2: I &amp;lt;3 NY
> 3: I <strong>&lt;3</strong> NY
> 4: I &lt;strong&gt;&amp;lt;3&lt;/strong&gt; NY

this looks good in a browser:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head><title></title></head>
<body>
<ol>
	<li>I &lt;3 NY</li>
	<li>I &amp;lt;3 NY</li>
	<li>I <strong>&lt;3</strong> NY</li>
	<li>I &lt;strong&gt;&amp;lt;3&lt;/strong&gt; NY</li>
</ol>
</body>
</html>

Or do like Norm says...

Cheers,
Danny.
