Problem parsing XML containing "&" character ...

Hi:
I get the following exception while trying to parse a XML document (non-validating parsing) that
contains "&" character (as in AT&T) in the value for some element -
for example: <name>AT&T Dev Center</name>

Is this a SAX bug or is there a feature/property/method I can use to parse the above
XML string without errors? It seems like that the parser assumes that the char "&"
is used for encoding special chars and hence expects a ";" after that.

Thanks for help.

Here is the exception:

		" must end with the ';' delimiter.
