   This page is wrong in one crucial point: the redirection characters ">", 
   "|" etc. *can* be quoted: just include them inside double quotes as 
   above.  Even COMMAND.COM supports that since DOS 5.0, and CMD does that 
   as well (I just tried).

This is from memory, but don't you get the quotes as part of the
argument then?  I seem to remember that echo ">" actually outputs
the quotes.
