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.
