Certainly, just as the browser "omits" "<p>" and "</table>". They're
tags, not displayable content. The difference is that while the browser
interprets HTML tags in some visually apparent manner, it doesn't know
what to do with your XML tags, so it ignores them altogether.
If you want tags, whether XML or HTML, to appear literally in your
content you need to use "<" (i.e., less than) instead of "<" and
">" (greater than) instead of ">".
