The ampersand character (&) and the left angle bracket (<) may appear in
their literal form only when used as markup delimiters, or within a comment,
a processing instruction, or a CDATA section. They are also legal within the
literal entity value of an internal entity declaration; see "4.3.2
Well-Formed Parsed Entities". If they are needed elsewhere, they must be
escaped using either numeric character references or the strings "&amp;" and
"&lt;" respectively. The right angle bracket (>) may be represented using
the string "&gt;", and must, for compatibility, be escaped using "&gt;" or a
character reference when it appears in the string "]]>" in content, when
that string is not marking the end of a CDATA section. "
