The reason I was confused was because I remembered a problem I encountered in the past with & as the delimeter in html being passed through, but I believe the problem there was more complicated - javascript was passing the & literally IIRC.
You are in dire need to read the HTML and XML specs at W3C and get rid of the mental baggage of the Tag Soup approach early browsers imposed on unsuspecting users. If you want to have an ampersand in user data transported in any HTML or XML document, like the Cocoon site map, you have to escape it as &. Proper HTML and XML parsers will deliver an ampersand to the application. Those nasty exceptions introduced in JavaScript embedded in HTML are actually bugs which sloppy developers who don't even know where to find specs got used to.
