XMLParser cannot parse the £ symbol

Hello,

I am retrieving XML data from the Amazon UK api which returns XML
including a £ (GBP) sign. I found that XMLParser.parse(xmlText) will
throw an exception (com.google.gwt.xml.client.impl.DOMParseException:
Failed to parse ) unless i remove the £ signs from the XML.

I am hoping someone can explain why this happens? It doesn't seem to
make sense to me to have to pre-process the XML by removing the £
signs or adding CDATA sections - please let me know if there is a
better way.

Thanks!
