Parser Error When String Contains Brackets that Don't Close Like XML

XML Tools does not correctly parse brackets within strings. This is a new issue and broke after the upgrade, since I always had XML tools installed and worked with the same config files.

For example, the following will not parse properly and throw an error upon saving the document OR checking XML syntax:

<add key="SomeKey" value="<this whole thing is a string, including the brackets>" />
or with Ruby Variables (for using Puppet to template out my XML configs):
<add key="SomeKey" value="<%= @variable %>" />

It probably thinks there should be a /> at the end, but as I said, the string has brackets in it.
