Some characters permitted in page titles are invalid XML characters, but titles
are embedded directly in XML attributes. For example, the article "Wolfson
Children’s Hospital" on English Wikipedia is included in this contributions
listing:

A strict XML parser will reject this XML because the character "’" is
invalid. Attributes containing titles containing special characters need to be
escaped.
