What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt to parse a chunk of xml with an unescaped ampersand in it.
 <foo>http://website.com?foo=1&bar=2</foo>
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The ampersand would be escaped (&amp;) and continue processing.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
r99 on OS X Leopard in the iPhone Simulator.

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm not sure if this responsibility should fall on the parser or the XML provider.

I think technically this is broken XML.

However NSXMLDocument does provide options to tidy up the XML. It would be nice to add a XML tidy mode - 
but that's a lot of work unfortunately.

Marking this as wont fix for now.

That's understandable.  I was able to get around this by using initWithXMLString with CXMLDocumentTidyHTML 
for now.
