I must be using different XML from you. Documentation for the version we
are using is here: https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#syntax

I don't see any exceptions that allow '>' in XML.

So far we managed it rather well on four different platforms with five
lauguages. This way we have precise references to resulting stanza text.
Not some 'ideal' 'abstract' unicode string, but to a formed piece of XML
document, that's not going to be changed or modified anymore before
sending. This is the most stable way to solve this problem.
