This is not allowed in XHTML, so you must specify the attribute as well
as its value, enclosed in quotes. Another similar case is the "checked" attribute in
check boxes.
XHTML Entities Must be Handled Properly
If you want to use an ampersand in your XHTML code, you must use it as & and
not just &.

& is used as a starting character for HTML entities??”e.g. , ", <, >
etc. Just using & to denote an ampersand confuses the XML parser and breaks it.
Similarly, use proper HTML Entities instead of quotation marks, less than/greater
than signs, and other such characters. You can refer to http://www.webstandards.
org/learn/reference/charts/entities/ for more information on XHTML entities.
