This works too.  You win.

But let's not go further into the land of weird character combinations
as placeholders.  I am of course myself guilty of starting this with
my handling of HTML, but I was hoping to do less of this in the
future, not more.   How about using unprintable control characters
instead of weird combinatiosn of letters, and sanitizing user input
from those characters?

I tried doing this for the version in mainline for HTML placeholders:

Perhaps you could use:

    self.prefix = START+"node"+NULL
    self.suffix = END+"node"+NULL

We could more generally go for this patter for placeholders of type <type>:

    START+<type>+NULL+<id>+END+<type>+NULL
