Sigh. I wish it weren't done that way.
The Description contains text. Sometimes that text is intended to be
interpreted itself as HTML.
When you read the outer XML (i.e. the <Description> tag), the contents
are interpreted as text. The < turns into <.
Now, if you want to "properly" display that, you have to parse that
text as HTML. Not XML, since it's likely not valid XHTML And then
render it as a HTML, not text.
However, if you're not displaying that description as HTML in a
browser, you'll need to strip out the tags. Some of them you can leave
in -- Android supports tags like <b> to make things bold, etc; see the
Html class's javadoc.
