Just thought I would mention this in case someone was not sure, and I hope
I'm not preaching to the choir.
The life cycle is as follows:
If the form or link has an ampersand it always gets escaped as %26.
The container than translates it back as "&" so getParameter() will get the
already decoded "&" character
So if you are to send "&" it will get encoded to %26amp%3b and decoded
back to "&" which is legal xml
Therfore I dont understand the problem
