(fixjsstyle thinks this these are operators and puts spaces around them)

The less-than and greater-than symbols are operators in (most) JavaScript. It seems that this E4X extension changes this by adding in native support for XML. Changing this issue to a feature request, since it's basically asking for E4X support.
