I think that results in slightly broken XML; quoting section 2.4:

    The right angle bracket (>) may be represented using the
    string "&gt;", and must, for compatibility, be escaped using
    "&gt;" or a character reference when it appears in the string
    "]]>" in content, when that string is not marking the end of a
    CDATA section.
