My problem is, that i mix up xmlnodes and htmlnodes. My program is a 
middleware which holds xml and xsl-nodes in the cache. for every request is mix several nodes with 

  xmlDocPtr data;
  xsltStylesheetPtr tmpXSLPtr = NULL;
  xmlDocPtr result = NULL;
  [...]
  result = xsltApplyStylesheet(tmpXSLPtr, data, NULL);

to one xml-node and output it to my apache-frontends with: 

  htmlDocDumpMemory(result,&buff,&buffsize); and some socket-operations

as far as i know, "&"  is allowed in the HTML eg:  <A HREF="/foo?bla=fasl&fasl=bla">foo</A>
