However does include the angle bracket symbols < > as separators

For reference the standard char tests are:

"IsSperator (1) == simple space (32 or 160) only.
IsPunctuation (23) == . , ! ? : ; " ' [ ] { } ( ) \ / @ % # * & - _ (plus other char's > 127)
IsSymbol (8) == $ + < > = ^ ` ~
IsWhiteSpace (6) == control char's 9 thru 13, plus 32 -- TAB, LF, VT, FF, CR, SP
