SecurityElement.Escape - escapes the ampersand, too, after the > is escaped for example

[TheAnalyticalBtch]

Type of issue

Code doesn't work

Description

When using SecurityElement.Escape, escaping the string "007 > 60 KV" returns the following:
"007 > 60 KV"
instead of
"007 > 60 KV"

In other words, the result when escaping the > character should be > but it seems to be escaping the result once the > has been escaped.

I have not tried it with other escape characters with ampersand.
