Done. I agree escaping is wrong. I don't think it was TypePad's fault though,
there was nothing they did to encourage people to type markup into that 
text field. The presence of the angle brackets seems to have triggered 
their code (probably XML::FOAF in CPAN) into escaping that entire field, 
rather than doing it with entities. But I expect it would behave the same 
even if it was just a casual use of '<' in prose, ie. "I am >30 yrs old".
