from xml brought everything back to how it was before. Is this intended to
be like that?

I reported that one some weeks ago, and believe a fix is in the works.

The problem is that "&" is an escape character for introducing XML 

entity names, and it's not being escaped properly (into "&l;") in 

names. (I assume it's working properly in pattr data.) It's probably 

worth checking that '"' and "'" work properly.

This was fixed in a recent update to pattrstorage. You should a) 

update to the most recent version of MaxMSP and b) grab the most 

recent incremental updates from the incremental downloads page.
