Note that the use of the word "may" means escaping it is optional. The bit that discusses "must" is only referring to its use within the substring "]]>" within a CDATA section (which makes perfect sense). So, sounds like the splitter behaviour is indeed within spec. IK> The right angle bracket (>) may be represented using the string " IK> > ",and MUST, for compatibility, be escaped using either " > " IK> or a character reference when it appears in the string " ]]> " in IK> content, when that string is not marking the end of a CDATA section.
