This will work to "turn on" the escaped angle brackets so that your
embedded-escaped HTML becomes live markup, by seeing that the serializer
does not escape them when writing output. (Note this will only work if you
use a processor with a serializer supporting this optional feature.) But
you should be sure to validate the result (or at least check the
well-formedness, if it's meant to be XML), before sending it on, since if
the HTML is not well-formed neither will the result be.
That's the price you pay for letting people escape their markup and yet
expect that it be treated as markup. (It can't be both markup and
not-markup at the same time, see.) Plus fixing all the errors that turn up
that were invisible when it wasn't markup.
Cheers,
Wendell
