| Just &-escape them same as you do in any other element. 'style' and
| 'script' do not require any special handling in XML.

| <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
|      <script type="text/javascript">
|          for (var i= 0; i&lt;3; i++)
|              alert(i);
|      </script>
|      <style type="text/css">
|          circle[class='foo&lt;bar'] { fill: blue; }
|      </style>
|      <circle cx="200" cy="200" r="100" class="foo&lt;bar"/>
| </svg>

| sequence in text content.)
Cheers,
I'll have to check that. I assumed &lt; etc. didn't get executed properly in 
SVG files. Assuming you're correct (you python-devs always are!),  it must have 
been another problem that was causing issues...
