Skip Navigation Links

Navigationally challenged browsers that do not display dynamic sub-menus may use the Sitemap.
The XML sitemap config file web.sitemap could not be loaded
An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line xx, position yy.

I learned this early on when re-deploying this site using Microsoft Expression Web.

Put simply, there are a small number of characters which cannot be used directly in XML files but must be replaced by an entity reference. The "&" (ampersand), for example, must be entered as "&amp;" (without the quotes, of course).  The only other strictly illegal character is the "<" (less than). Three additional characters should be should be replaced as a matter of good habit:
Character Entity reference
& &amp;
< &lt;
> &gt;
' &apos;
" &quot;
