  &amp; is a predefined XML entity. Any non-predefined entity must be declared
in the DTD. Simply use "ä ,ö ,ü" directly and make sure your whole
file is correct ISO-8859-1 and declare it as
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

That's not a libxml related question. It's purely an XML question,
independant of the software used to process the data.
