Yes, you can't use '&' for the same reason you can't use '<' or (potentially) '>'. They are special characters. There are ways around this, for a (very) little more info: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/02/26/qa.html

Is it simply because '&' is flagged in the parser as reserved for entities of the form "&xxx;", or is there another reason? That's all I was asking.
