No. If you put <> into a script element in an XML file then the file
will be rejected by the XML parser (as its not well formed)
so in particular the content of the element will never be passed to the
javascript engine.

It is different in HTML, HTML's script is declared to be CDATA which
means that , is not special to the SGML parser. But XML does not have
CDATA elements so in XHTML (or any other XML language, eg SVG) you have
to quote < using &lt; or CDATA.

If the XSLT system is producing non well formed XML then it is a bug
(even if you would not call it so:-)
