  I don't know any better way if you don't have an XML tree built in memory

  yes '&' => &amp;
  you should also be extremely cautious about any char out of the ASCII
range, they are expect to be encoded in UTF-8 by default, or using
character references like &#x81;
  Internationalization is hard, so I suggest you stick with character
references if you really don't understand fully what exorting an XML
file in given encoding means
