its required because
<param1>Hartmut & Bernecker</param1> is not well formed XML and will
be rejected by the parser. the client parser should unescape it to
leave you with the original string (which doesn't appear to be
happening). It does appear that the source string is getting escaped
twice, don't know why, are you escaping it before passing it back to
4s4c ?
