Great, many thanks for the reply, and for the location of the information in the XML docs, that's very helpful. Unfortunately, it seems that the NSXML classes don't fix the '>' in the ']]>' case either, though:
NSXMLElement*element = [[[NSXMLElementalloc] initWithName:@"Test"stringValue:@"< & > ]]>"] autorelease];
NSLog (@"%@", element);
Output:
<Test>< & > ]]></Test>
So presumably that means that, given that the docs say > may be used, I am going to need to fix this anyway. (Even though it's unlikely the "]]>" combination will come up, I can't rule it out as this is user-generated data).
Many thanks again and all the best,
Keith

The XML spec does not require '>' to be escaped as '>' (except in the case of ']]>' when that doesn't mark the end of a cdata section). Only '&' and '<' must be escaped - see section 2.4 of XML 1.0 spec.
