No - if you did this then you'd have to worry about quoting rules, etc,
etc. What you would most likely do is...

  * don't send a block which ends in the XEOTM until another block is
    recieved

  * make sure the final block ends in the XEOTM and remove the XEOTM
    before sending/storing it

  * if the final block doesn't end in the XEOTM, don't store the object

actually, to protect against cache crashes, maybe you want to store the
XEOTM?
