<!>I can't see why you're using disable-output-escaping. This is
<!>for use when
<!>you want special characters such as "<" in text to be
<!>interpreted as markup,
<!>the default action is to treat them as character data, which is what you
<!>want.

okay, i've removed disable-output-escaping, result is the same:

Fri Jun 23 08:40:40 GMT+02:00 2000 <6162
Fri Jun 23 08:40:40 GMT+02:00 2000 <66
Fri Jun 23 08:40:40 GMT+02:00 2000 >70

<!>Telling us what your browser shows isn't very useful; it's the generated
<!>HTML that's interesting. I suspect the generated HTML is "<&>" and the
<!>browser is trying its best to make sense of it, which it isn't doing very
<!>successfully. What you want to generate is "&lt;&amp;&gt;"
