    Title: CurrentPlayerData.xml contains invalid XML (when map_friendly contains &)
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? no
    Details: When the player's current location name contains an & sign, it doesn't get encoded as XML in the CurrentPlayerData.xml file. This causes problems because the & sign is how you encode entity references in XML, but the there's no entity reference after the &. So, if you try to parse the file content as XML, it leads to errors... (it should be & in this specific case.)
    Steps to Reproduce: Enter a basement for a Village Stone & Timber N-Story Basement and check the map_friendly entry in CurrentPlayerData.xml
