Its documented at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#syntax states: "The ampersand character (&) and the left angle bracket (<) may appear in their literal form only when used as markup delimiters, or within a comment, a processing instruction, or a CDATA section. If they are needed elsewhere, they must be escaped using either numeric character references or the strings "&" and "<" respectively."
