Possible bug with less than

It looks like the XML parser is erroring out when the less than sign
is used within an iff() statement.

I'm doing the line:
  <field value="v.DEPT_YEAR1" color="iff(v.DEPT_YEAR1 < 0, 'Red',
'Black')" align="left" />

The errors I'm getting are:
  /srv/www/_portal_xml_templates/mult_year_spdtype_FOPPS_layout.xml:51:
parser error : Unescaped '<' not allowed in attributes values
                               <field value="v.DEPT_YEAR1"
color="iff(v.DEPT_YEAR1 < 0, 'Red', '

            ^
/srv/www/_portal_xml_templates/mult_year_spdtype_FOPPS_layout.xml:51:

                               <field value="v.DEPT_YEAR1"

            ^
