309	boost::serialization - strings with '&' character included	nobody	Robert Ramey	"{{{
The issue is related to xml serialization only. I am trying 
to serialize strings with & character included. When I am 
trying to deserialize such a string, everything after '&' 
just disappeared.

Also I noticed that  serializer doesn't convert '&' to xml 
entity '&'. I guess it should. However it converts 
from amp entity when deserializing.

Even if I convert '&' to xml entity manually, the problem 
still occur.

As I found debugging the source code, the problem 
happens because of wrong spirit rule in 
basic_xml_grammar.ipp file:

   CharData = 
        (*(anychar_p - chset_p(L""&<""))) [
            append_string<
                StringType, 
                BOOST_DEDUCED_TYPENAME 
std::basic_string<CharType>::const_iterator
            >(rv.contents)
        ]
    ;

when I deleted '&' I was able to deserialize strings 
with '&' at least. I do not know how it can affect other 
aspects of deserialization.
