Actually the specs state that the pseudo-attributes for the xml-model must have the "&" escaped to "&". Here is a page linked from the xml-model specs:
What I understand from there is that PredefEntityRef must be analyzed as such (and thus decoded) but the characters they represent do not have to be be escaped. That is: "a&b" must be parsed as "a&b", but you can also have "a&b" directly in the PI's data.
Production 3 [1] prohibits "bare" '&' or '<': [3] PseudoAttValue ::= ('"' ([^"<&] | CharRef | PredefEntityRef)* '"' | "'" ([^'<&] | CharRef | PredefEntityRef)* "'") This is a good match for Production 10 of the XML Rec [2]: [10] AttValue ::= '"' ([^<&"] | Reference)* '"' | "'" ([^<&'] | Reference)* "'" Regards, Tony Graham tgraham@mentea.net Consultant http://www.mentea.net Mentea 13 Kelly's Bay Beach, Skerries, Co.
