If there are no additional limitations imposed, one can use the '&' character without escaping. For example: *$myConcat := function($s1, $s2){ $s1 || '&' || $s2}* *return* * $myConcat('month', 'august')* produces *month&august* To summarize, any implementation of an element() function must throw an error if passed unescaped ampersand(s), not just the XPath function implementation.
