So yes. I was using html output hence getting &amp; instead of "&" 
which thanks to you info it now makes sense. Can I output HTML or 
even XHTML or something leaving the whole unparsed data in an unparsed data tag somehow 
so as I can then do whatever I want with them ?

It's not very crucial but it's because the TeX stuff are the last to 
be parsed at the final transformation... I could change the order of 
things but it requires some changes in our framework and I would like to 
avoid it

Thanks,
