Escaping of some pesky characters

[stefanct]

Hi,
I am trying to convert the friluftsruter (outdoor maps) with sosi2osm using the defaul.lua (i guess there is no specific script for that yet?). I am using the debian 8/jessie version on ubuntu 12.04 for that and noticed that it does not work for two reasons. However, fixing them manually creates an .osm file that josm loads just fine.

The problems are the use of < and > in some values, for example:

<tag k="INFORMASJON" v="Geometri hentet fra TraktorvegSti, <ord2>"/>

and the use of ampersand (&):

<tag k="OPPHAV" v="Kvarven U&IL"/>

These strings are just copied over from the original SOSI files AFAICT. I have not checked how these should actually be encoded in the OSM XML, or if this was fixed already upstream, sorry for any inconvenience ;)
