FrameMaker save as xml does not convert entities

[Scott Prentice]

Hi Mark...

Technically, the ">" character does not need to be an entity. Are you 
running into trouble with some process that's complaining about this? I 
think that the only characters that must be entities are .. < and & .. 
all others are optional.
