The indirect effect on well-formedness for '<' is probably much harder to deal with than '&'. Much more than unknown character entities, the stray '&*' is a well-formedness constraint violation and a non-fatal error [1]. Current browsers apply the draconian error-handling for well- formedness errors to these validity errors. Take care, Rob [1]: <http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#dt-chardata>
