Ampersand connector in XML

[Alison Lennon]

Could someone please explain to me why the ampersand group connector
of SGML was not included in XML. 

It seems to me that the absence of this connector results in
significant problems for many applications based on XML that want to
use unordered lists of elements.

Cheers,
Alison
