Child Selectors Being Eaten

Just an FYI to all attempting to build skins that child selectors (>) are being converted to &gt; by the parser. One would presume the < symbol is affected too.

It does this silently, so watch out, if you've tried to use one, it's not going to work.

Submitted to support just a few hours ago, so no idea on a timeframe for a fix.

Also, if you're interested in the ramblings of a near newb tackling the archive skin the hard way, feel free to read.

Also, also, if you think having the code for Archive 2.0 all in one document would be handy, I published my Google Docs version for anyone to use. I find it really handy to Ctrl + F to find out where various code is and what it does, even though I'm not using the default skin at all.
