900: Descriptions containing text in angle brackets is not handled correctly

If I create a review whose description contains text inside angle brackets,
ReviewBoard does not handle it correctly.  It apparently tries to interpret
the text as a formatting tag (e.g. <B>, see
http://code.google.com/p/reviewboard/issues/detail?id=894).  If it's not a
known tag, ReviewBoard deletes the angle brackets and everything between
them!  

This is particularly painful if the description contains something like C++
template code, where the stuff in angle brackets has semantic meaning:

template <class T, class U>
void foo(bar<T, U> b);

becomes

template
void foo(bar b);
