Thanks for the reply. But since I don't have control of the initial text, is
there something with python that will strip/replace this...
or are you saying I should do a search/replace on the "&" char with the
"amp&;" prior to parsing??

a pretty simple question, i'm guessing.that's because your parser is interpreting the &E part as an entity
i have a text/html string that looks like:
....(A&E)
the issue i have is that when i parse it using xpath/node/toString,
i get the following
...(A&E;).
reference, and the serializer is then adding the missing semicolon.
bare ampersands must be written as "&" in the file.
