| identifiers | `backtick` | Attribute values in quotes; entities (& < >) for ... |
| row limit | LIMIT n | — |
| dates | DATETIME, TIMESTAMP, DATE, TIME | Text (xs:date / xs:dateTime when an XSD is in play) |
| long text | TINYTEXT / TEXT / MEDIUMTEXT / LONGTEXT | — |
| binary | BLOB / TINYBLOB / LONGBLOB | base64Binary / hexBinary inside text |
| separator | — | Tags, not delimiters |
| encoding | — | Declared in the XML declaration |
| typing | — | None in the markup itself |
