If the next input character is not a U+002F SOLIDUS (/) character, emit a U+003C LESS-THAN SIGN character token and switch to the data state to process the next input character.
This would be clearer if it used the usual wording "consume the next input character" and "reconsume the current input character in the data state".
(I just found out I wrote a bug due to my careless reading of the unusual wording.)
