No, the attribute is written as "&lt;" in the source file but as soon as it
is parsed (i.e., as soon as it is recognized as an attribute) it has the
value "<".

Parsers do not do transformation, I think you are confusing the XML parser
with the XSLT processor. Understanding the distinction is absolutely crucial
here.
