The HTML 4.01 spec states: Similarly, authors should use ">" (ASCII
decimal 62) in text instead of ">" to avoid problems with older user agents
that incorrectly perceive this as the end of a tag (tag close delimiter)
when it appears in quoted attribute values.
So although both products are "correct", I believe Saxon is following the
practice recommended by the authors of HTML 4.01.
