RE: How to add a "less than" or "greater than" sign?

it won't work because it prevents your stylesheet from being well-formed.

The xsl:element element type gives you the most flexibility in creating
names for your output elements, and will solve your problem. Try something
more like 

  <xsl:element name="{@Type}">myvalue</xsl:element>
