Joomap and & (amp) symbol and XML

Hi,

Joomap seems to work very well with SEF Advance, except that when I put  symbol & (amp) in the Replace Exceptions tab of SEF Advance then Joomap cannot generate XML Sitemap for Google and gives the error: "XML Parsing Error: not well-formed".

I have tried to remove symbol & in the Replace Exceptions list and put %26=>& in the URL Replace list but SEF Advance still displays %26 for & in URLs.

Would anyone know how to get around this & problem, in SEF Advance or in Joomap?

(I'd like to use symbol &, rather changing it to the word "and").

Thanks.

I don't use Joomap but I would say the problem is there as it should automatically replace & to & on XML creation.
