well formed attributes: no < ?

Hello,

I've been using XML for a while in a rather 'free' manner (i.e. as long as 
IE accept it it's OK), I read recently (again) the Xml standard 1.0 (3rd 
edition) and found this sentence:

Well-formedness constraint: No < in Attribute Values
The replacement text of any entity referred to directly or indirectly in an 
attribute value MUST NOT contain a <.

it's seems to imply that:
<tag attr="&lt;" />
is not good XML. but for example the doc of XSL shows numerous samples where 
&lt; is used in attributes. is the XSL doc wrong? or is this well-formedness 
rule obsolete? or not enforced by anybody? or is this something else?

Regards
Armel
