The spec doesn't treat < as special in the tag name state. This is inconsistent with Firefox 3, Safari 3.1 and Opera 9.5 (and SGML-based HTML 4 validation). I don't have IE to test with. Is it an IEism? The change that would be compatible with Gecko and WebKit would be emitting the current tag token and reconsuming < in the data state. (In Opera the stuff starting with < becomes an attribute.)
