<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>I guess I wasn't clear in my previous email. The sample in the
dev guide is a program that creates an object model for a layer. It is OK
to assign strings like the filter in question in a program. When that
object model is serialized to XML, the offending characters are escaped.
You can see the result of this in the XML you quoted in your most recent
message (included below). When you are directly editing a layer's XML,
you must escape the five "bad" characters yourself.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
