The nice thing about BER and other length encoding rules is that what
is inside can be ignored by the parser above.  Looking for a special
"string" inside the data to know that a frame has ended means anything
underneath MUST escape the magic string or else the framing parser
will get rather confused assuming its simple and isn't doing complete
verification.  If the framing parser were a real parser, it would
realize it was inside a CDATA section and ignore the illegal
end-of-frame marker.
