See: http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#syntax

        The ampersand character (&) and the left angle bracket (<) MUST
        NOT appear in their literal form, except when used as markup
        delimiters, or within a comment, a processing instruction, or a
        CDATA section. If they are needed elsewhere, they MUST be
        escaped using either numeric character references or the strings
        "&amp;" and "&lt;" respectively. The right angle bracket (>) MAY
        be represented using the string "&gt;", and MUST, for
        compatibility, be escaped using either "&gt;" or a character
        reference when it appears in the string "]]>" in content, when
        that string is not marking the end of a CDATA section.

And also: http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#sec-predefined-ent

Finally, &#60;...&#62; doesn't work within Monodoc either.  It exhibits
the same behavior as &lt;...&gt; -- that is, nothing is displayed unless
there is a space following the &lt;.
