It's not that the spec prohibits &. I't just that it prohibits *unescaped* & in XML (thus in XHTML) documents. Just as it prohibits unescaped < and >. Thus, AFAIK, 'all' that's needed is for methods that write attribute values to replace & by & when writing. Note that this is not URL quoting, as when replacing ' ' with +. This is an extra layer of quoting that's supposed to be applied to *anything* that gets written to XML, including URLs. -- Rodrigo Gallardo GPG-Fingerprint: 7C81 E60C 442E 8FBC D975 2F49 0199 8318 ADC9 BC28 Zenophobia: the irrational fear of convergent sequences.
