[xquery-talk] parsing xml fragments

Sun Jun 21 13:15:51 PDT 2015

I think this is a bug of parse-xml-fragment() since the string passed in $feed is a wellformed escaped xml fragment. 
The xQuery-processor is trying to replace & by & which makes no sense and produces like that an error ;-(

What do the experts say ?
