XMLFormatter::CharEscapes should include close angle

In fact, if you look carefully at the XML spec, the '>' character never has to 
be escaped; it's always clear from context whether it's text or the end of a 
tag. &lt; may be easier for humans to parse in some cases, but is not actually 
required.

I'd suggest knocking this down to being an Enhancment request.
