Details

If you try to use the character "<" in a script in xul (any xml?), expat
complains that the file isn't well-formed. For example, just try putting
the following into any xul file...

<html:script>
  if (0 < 1) {
    dump("foo");
  }
</html:script>

I don't know if this problem is in expat, the xul dtd, or somewhere else.
I haven't tested it in any places other than xul.

That isn't well-formed XUL.  See the HTML in XML spec.  You have to put script
stuff in a CDATA section.
