xml_escaping_issue_js.js

I need help with differences between production and sandbox environments.
In sandbox `renderer.renderAsString()` is escaping special characters (like `&amp;` to `&amp;`), but is not escaping them in production (which causes a "SSS_XML_DOM_EXCEPTION" error when you call `xml.validate(…)`).
I'm using identical xml templates, and the same code (see below)

I can't `xml.escape(xmlStr)`, as this escapes _everything_, not just the values (all the gt/lt brackets `&lt;&gt;`)
I've created a plaintext file here, but was originally creating/saving as an xml file.

My only thought/fallback is to use a regex replace like:
```xmlStr.replaceAll(/&amp;(?!amp;)/g, '&amp;');```
