Validor has a problem with negative expressions

[jeichels]

I have the validator working doing some fairly complex field validations, but I am 
having a problem with what I think should be a trivial thing.

I am trying to create an expression where you get all but html types of characters.  I 
have tried variations, but can't seem to get this to work.

<constant>
    <constant-name>requiredHtmlRestricted</constant-name>
    <constant-value>^[^&lt;^&gt;]+$</constant-value>
</constant>

I would expect this to allow me to capture all characters except the less then and 
greater then sign according to http://jakarta.apache.org/regexp/apidocs/ RE 
description and elsewhere.

It does not work.

Ideas?
