Just as long as you do not put the PCDATA into an attribute - you cannot
put a CDATA section there.  You can, of course, put it into the content
of an element.  I say this because a  common way to send xml back to a
server is to put it into a hidden input element, and in that case it has
to go as the value of the "value" attribute of the hidden field.

Why not just use Javascript to escape the "&" characters?
