I'm glad my hint was helpful.  Interestingly, the angle brackets are not
required per se.  However, there does have to be some character there,
in both places, and that character is replaced by an angle bracket on
export (and probably on display as well but I am using BIND instead of
local variable settings to set the custom format).
