Ok so this worked when inside a quoted attribute value but not a 
normal tag body. Clearly I'm not parsing valid XML so I'm going 
outside the bounds of valid parameters. But rather than writing a 
custom parser to handle this, it would be nice to have:

      try {
          range.popFront();
      } catch (Exception e) {
          range.moveToNextTag();
      }

Which would make front a MalformedParse containing the content up 
to the next <.
