Fixes an issue where the emitter would produce XML which cannot be parsed back (the reader panics): - Writer emits the characters `]]>`. - Reader interprets this as a CDATA suffix instead of the literal `]]>`, and panics. This issue can occur in particular when processing dumps of MediaWiki markup which uses `[[...]]` to denote links: `Let [[x]]>0`. A simple fix is to escape all `>` characters in text when emitting XML. This avoids accidentally forming `]]>` substrings.
