Well, the problem is that these files are not XML documents...

You could probably read the document into a string and use the
Regular Expression classes to replace all < followed by a digit
(or whatever the pattern might be) by &lt; and pass the resulting
string to the XML Processor, but that would be quite a hack and
might break if the XML documents no longer match the pattern
you expect. Better get whoever created the documents to fix them.
