• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Valid OSLC XML data containing an ampersand is not handled
  properly.
  The CR is updated, but only the data before the ampersand is
  displayed.  Here is the XML snippet in question (which passes a
  3rd
  party XML syntax validator):
  
  ?oslc_cm:ChangeRequest xmlns:oslc_cm='http://open-services.
  net/xmlns/cm/1.0/'
  xmlns:rdf='http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-
  ns#' OSLC_CHANGE_MANAGEMENT_ID_SOURCE='5213'?
