&lt; is converted to < by an XML parser. Your source document has been
parsed and this conversion has been done. But since you are submitting the
XPath expression to DOM4J from a Java application, the XPath expression
doesn't go through an XML parser, so it isn't converted to <. Write
xqx:opType = '<='.
