We are not sure of the optimal way to represent this in CVE. We
are making this mapping, which we feel is adequate:

  Use CVE-2016-9909 for the mishandling of the '<' character in
  attribute values.

  Use CVE-2016-9910 for the mishandling of all of the other mentioned
  characters in attribute values.
