How would you handle this?

["Jessica Weissman" <Jessica -dot- Weissman -at- hillcrestlabs -dot- com>]

Below is an extract from some programmer-written documentation that I am
assigned to clean up.  Notice that at the end of the third line it says
" and '<' for greater than".  Yes, it uses the lessthan sign for greater
than.  In defense of my colleague this is from the Java message spec.
He did not implement it this way.

What I've done is insert a footnote saying "This is not a misprint.  '<'
really does mean 'greater than' here.  See [URL to java documentation
page]

Is this the best way?  I don't want to break the example flow, but I
don't want to lose the information or have people either miss it or
write it up as a bug in the documentation.  I think a footnote works
well.  What do you think?

Thanks,

Jessica Weissman

The detail part of the choice type element contains a list of choices
separated by the pipe ( | ) character.  Each choice consists of a
number, an equality operator (which may be '#' for equals and '<' for
greater than), and a format string.
