   you write a nice little custom function that add's
   and removes unescaped character entitys after each
   read from a parser and before each load ....
   (oh hey nice boat anchor you wrapped on that
   MSXML3 speed boat there buddy...)


Surely this is just saying that you need to write out strings using XML
syntax (which automatically implies quoting < and &). The parser will
unquote these as that's what parsers do. So you shouldn't have to write
any custom functions. Unquoting is a standard function of an XML parser.
Quoting strings in XMl syntax is provided in the MS implementation by eg
the .xml method which gives the linear XML string corresponding to the
node, so this will of course quote any & for you.
