I checked with our tech support department, and they also seem to have
encoutered this problem.  In that case, the source code provided 
contained an incorrect codepoint for the '<' symbol.  It appears
OpenOffice generates 0xE084, in the Unicode Private Area.

I'm surprised it works in Netscape. It shouldn't really. But I
suppose it is Netscape that chose to use a private code, and the Open
Office people tailored their output specifically for Netscape, and
were thereby lured into error.
