http://www.gnu.org/software/qexo/XQ-Gen-XML.html
includes an example of using css and javascript.

"Correctly" is in the eye of the beholder.  A {} does not change 
printing - just whether data are static or dynamic.

Well, if you're generating XHTML (which is the default) or XML you
have to emit &lt; and &gt;.  If you want to generate HTML, try
passing the --output-format html flag to Kawa.  Or you can use the
unescaped-data(STRING) function to emit data that has the quoting
disabled:

unescaped-data(data)
  Creates a special value which causes data to be printed,
  as is, without normal escaping. For example, when the output
  format is XML, then printing "<?xml?>" prints as '&lt;?xml?&gt;',
  but unescaped-data("<?xml?>") prints as '<?xml?>'.
