I think you can actually write out the text as soon as you have fully parsed it. What line tags are about is security. Usually you have a security level for the entire line, and as soon as a new line starts it reverts back to default security.
MUDs should really use </> entities for their prompts to make it clear that it isn't a tag. So it isn't really an issue with MXP, but an issue of poor implementation on MUDs.
Something that needs to be kept in mind here is that zMUD is quite good at error recovery. It will sometimes accept sloppy syntax of MXP and try, to its best efforts, make an acceptable parse of it. The bad thing about this is that MUDs who test their implementation towards zMUD might not detect obvious errors that dont quite follow the standard.
