Glad to hear.

The reason you get the < and > characters literally is not due to Kid
(I believe) but because MochiKit is corecing the string to a dom text
node via document.createTextNode(yourstring). That involves no
xml/html parsing of the string.
Your best bet here would probably be to use innerHtml, changing the line
replaceChildNodes('infotarget', 'Your string here');
to
$('infotarget').innerHtml = 'Your <b>html</b> formatted string here';
This makes the browser parse the string as html and create the
appropriate dom nodes.
If you are creating your string in javascript (as opposed from
receiving it prebuilt from the server), you can also use MochiKit to
build the dom nodes for you - like this:
replaceChildNodes('infotarget', 'Your ', B('html'), ' formatted string here');
.. well, almost. Since <b></b> is in some circles considered
"deprecated" in favour of more semantic markup (such as <span>) the
MochiKit doesn't by default define a function called "B". You can
easily correct that though by including this line somewhere it's run
before the above code:
B = createDOMFunc('b');
