How to set '&' as an attribute value using setAttribute()?
How do I set '&' as a attribute value using the setAttribute() method of the Element class? The method seems to blindly convert all '&' chars in the string to "&". eg
setAttribute("test","a&b")
gives output as
test="a&b"
setAttribute("test","a&b")
gives
test="a&amp;b"
setAttribute("test","a&#38;b");
gives
test="a&#38;#38;b"
How to get
test="a&b"?

This is the correct serialization of "&". Don't worry. Any conforming XML
parser will deliver it back as "&" to your application.
