The XML spec does not require '>' to be escaped as '>' (except in
the case of ']]>' when that doesn't mark the end of a cdata section).
Only '&' and '<' must be escaped - see section 2.4 of XML 1.0 spec.

Hello,
I'm using the NSXML classes to write out various strings, and it
seems that these classes convert "<" to "<" but not ">" to
">", which I find odd. For instance, consider the following code
snippet:
NSXMLElement*element = [[[NSXMLElementalloc]
initWithName:@"Test"stringValue:@"< & >"] autorelease];
NSLog (@"%@", element);
The output is:
<Test>< & ></Test>
Is this correct, or is this a bug? Or am I missing something? Do I
therefore need to replace all occurrences of ">" with ">" myself
to generate better XML?
