This is probably the most-FAQ! Whether your input uses CDATA or entity
references or character references is irrelevant, a "<" supplied in
character content cannot be used to generate markup in the output document.
If you want to generate an <A> element, use a literal result element <A> in
the stylesheet, or <xsl:element>.
The latest spec does provide a way of cheating, using
disable-output-escaping, but (a) I don't know if Lotus implements it, and
(b) I can't see any reason why you would need it here.
