in reply to parsing reserved chars with xml::simple

Why would you want an XML parser to parse stuff that isn't XML?

Down that path lies the madness of the variously differing error-correction schemes used by the "HTML" "parsers". And rightfully so, the XML creators said "no way" to that.

If it's an XML parser, it's supposed to throw a fit when you feed it something other than XML. You should be feeding it XML, not non-XML.
