Right angle bracket (>) in XML Specification

I like to close the discussion about the use of the right angle bracket (>) in XML document. Despite what the the claim "the greater than character is legal, but it is a good habit to replace it" by the w3schools, usage of the right angle bracket must be escaped! It clearly mentioned in the XML 1.0 Specifications:

The ampersand character (&) and the left angle bracket (<) must not appear in their literal form, except when used as markup delimiters, or within a comment, a processing instruction, or a CDATA section. If they are needed elsewhere, they must be escaped using either numeric character references or the strings " & " and " < " respectively. The right angle bracket (>) may be represented using the string " > ", and must, for compatibility, be escaped using either " > " or a character reference when it appears in the string " ]]> " in content, when that string is not marking the end of a CDATA section.

In the content of elements, character data is any string of characters which does not contain the start-delimiter of any markup and does not include the CDATA-section-close delimiter, " ]]> ". In a CDATA section, character data is any string of characters not including the CDATA-section-close delimiter, " ]]> ".
