The documentation hasn't been updated in a while. The '<' and '>'
modifiers have to do with internal redirection. You can put a '<' on any
item to indicate that it should report that value as of the response to
the original request. You can put a '>' on any item to indicate that it
should report that value as of the response to the request as it appears
after all internal redirections have completed.
So, '%<r' means the request as it originaly came in, instead of the
request after the rewrite rules have changed it. Actualy, as far as I can
tell %r and %<r are the same by default. You can change the default
however, which means that %<r is a more portable form.
Most of the time there aren't any internal redirections at all. When
someone starts using the rewrite engine or has custom modules loaded that
rewrite URLs, there start to be differences in the meaning of before and
after. Internaly Apache is handling a request, checking for an internal
redirect and starting over handling the request as if it was a new
request, but transparently to the client.
