Wow, this again.

The short: not escaping > is legal XML, however it is illegal XMPP.  I believe 
it is under consideration for making this legal XMPP in the next RFC 
revision.

Becoming XMPP compliant here is very awkward if you use an off-the-shelf XML 
implementation (which we do, QtXml).  However, Kev and I discussed a way to 
do it if absolutely necessary.  Maybe we'll do it, but I'd like to see what 
happens with the RFC revision.  IMO it was a dumb restriction in the first 
place.
