"properly"?  XSLTPROC is in error.

If what you quoted is precisely the text you have:

<j_entry cmd="admin/user/mail" dsc="Quota of a mailbox
in Megabytes. The default value is taken from the mail
server default quota (see entry <xref
linkend='mta_quota' xrefstyle='template:%t on page
%p'/>)." rel="Mail Server" t="integer" ver="4.0"
val="30"/>

... then the naked "<" in the attribute is supposed to be rejected by 
a conforming processor.

What you have isn't XML: XML 1.0 production [10] "AttValue" 
specifically forbids a naked "<" character in an attribute.

Where is the confusion?
