    From the XML specification (§2.4):

    The ampersand character (&) and the left angle bracket (<) may appear in their literal form only when used as markup delimiters, or within a comment, a processing instruction, or a CDATA section. They are also legal within the literal entity value of an internal entity declaration; see “4.3.2 Well-Formed Parsed Entities”. If they are needed elsewhere, they must be escaped using either numeric character references or the strings “&” and “<” respectively.

    Since this circumstance fits into none of the stated categories, it is illegal.
