[KCFusion] How to preserve "<" and ">" strings... (was: Text box value)

Speaking of htmlEditFormat, here's a question for you. Say you've got a
textarea where users can enter a combination of text and html. A knowledge
base system, for the sake of argument. The user decides to enter some
displayed code, like this:

 This is how to <b>bold</b> a word: &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;

The user saves the record, and so far so good. Now comes time to edit the
article, and here's where it gets ugly... MSIE will display the "&lt;" and
"&gt;" strings as actual brackets in the text area, so the article now
looks like this in the textarea input box:

 This is how to <b>bold</b> a word: <b>bold</b>

and when the user re-saves the article, they of course get switched back
to real brackets.

Any workarounds would be appreciated...
