>>> Probably something that needs to be corrected?

No.  Ampersands are active in quoted strings so they can be used as introducers to a multitude of special characters.  This usage is similar to the backslash in C and C++ strings used to introduce special characters such as \t and \n.  So, in either XML or C, you have to escape the introducer characters.
