That tells you what's wrong, but not why or how to fix it. & is a special character which is used to indicate character entities. Character entities are necessary in order to include characters which can't be represented in the standard character set. Because & is used to indicate character entities it can't be used on its own and needs to appear as "&" -- introducing a character entity for an ampersand. There are some HTML entities which aren't recognised in XML. Occasionally you might want to include â (for "Château" perhaps). â isn't valid, so you need to encode that in two halves: &acirc; -- the parser will replace & with the ampersand character and then the browser will see â and interpret that as â.
