Why won't my XML file validate at a precise link?

What's wrong with this XML file? Why won't it validate at that precise link? Thanks!
That is, replace & with &. (Let's see if this survives preview...)
You've also got HTML entities in there which won't validate -- â for example. Lazy way to fix that would be to just encode the ampersand as above.

Response by poster: It didn't work with amp;, but it did with 38;. I shall try to encode all the others too.
Thank you for your patience and kindness. This n00b appreciates it.

For the "&" stuff, there's also the URL Cleaner that can automate the task for you.

Anything like that which can cover *all* HTML weird characters (such as my needed Romanian words-with-diacritics)?

You need to encode the ampersands, replacing & with &, - as in:
index.php?c=1&a=14495
