Well Jon, I was thinking of using Regular Expressions to escape
the characters but a couple of test cases with the latest IE,
FF and OP browsers showed they do not parse the entities back
to their respective text characters. What a dilemma!
At the moment I'm considering doing nothing in the Title, using
CDATA in the Description and disallow XML in all other elements.
