Answering myself: I finally resorted to inputting < and > as %3C and % 
3E respectively. I found out about this by looking at how Adobe  
Reader translates < and > in its warning asking whether one should  
block or authorize access to the link destination.

I don't know where this syntax is referenced, it seems writing %  
followed by the UTF-8 reference of a character yields this character  
in a URL.

Of course, in LaTeX a % must be escaped as \%. Which yields

\href{http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/1099-095X(200102)12:1\%3C57::AID- 
ENV446\%3E3.0.CO;2-1}
      {DOI:10.1002/1099-095X(200102)12:1<57::AID-ENV446>3.0.CO;2-1}

instead of

\newcommand{\doi}[1]{\href{http://dx.doi.org/#1}{DOI:#1}}
\doi{10.1002/1099-095X(200102)12:1<57::AID-ENV446>3.0.CO;2-1}

Too bad this prevents automation!

PS: BTW, does anyone know how to prevent creation of the folder ~/ 
Documents/Updater5/ every time Adobe Reader is launched? Those pesky  
Adobe habits!
