As I thought others had explained, the DOM holds the result of parsing the
XML, it keeps no record of what the data looked like before it was parsed,
so there is no way of getting the pre-parsed value. There is no way of
telling once parsing is complete whether the value was originally input as
"<", as "<", as "<", or as "<". And it shouldn't matter,
because they are all equivalent.
