I think that's a killer.

Frankly, this is what CDATA sections were made for.  Wrap your Lisp
code in "<![CDATA[" and "]]>" brackets, and < is no longer magic.
(Note that > is never magic, though there is an escape for it anyway.)

And now here I was, in a country where a right to say how the country should
be governed was restricted to six persons in each thousand of its population.
For the nine hundred and ninety-four to express dissatisfaction with the
regnant system and propose to change it, would have made the whole six
shudder as one man, it would have been so disloyal, so dishonorable, such
putrid black treason.  --Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee
