Comment (by mdawaffe):

 4409.diff: a possible solution.

  1. Tweaks a kses regex.
  2. Converts
 {{{
 This is a < less than sign.
 }}}
  to
 {{{
 This is a &lt; less than sign.
 }}}
  3. Converts
 {{{
 foo > br
 }}}
  to
 {{{
 foo <br>
 }}}
  (and similar for any allowed tag).  This is KSES' original behavior.

 This will need some serious testing to ensure it doesn't open any security
 holes.
