You could preprocess the data with e.g. sed, perl, or with the tool you're
using to retrieve the documents, just by replacing every '&' character in
the document with "&amp;". This could, however, not work if the XML document
contains entity references (like &nbsp;) or character entity references
(like &#160;), in which case you should only replace the ampersands that are
not entity delimiters.

Cheers,

Jarno
