I'm designing an ebook with Daphnis & Chloe in the title, and the publisher may want me to use that style rather than Daphnis and Chloe. But putting & in

<dc:title>The Love Song of Daphnis & Chloe</dc:title>

prevents the ePub from validating; in fact the whole thing crashes. But

<dc:title>The Love Song of Daphnis and Chloe</dc:title> works as expected.

Is there a work around?

I personally don't like the Daphnis & Chloe formation anyway, but it's used several times in the text so I'm stuck with it.
