I am probably missing some context, but why is that a problem?
Ampersands should be escaped to '&' in XML documents, even if the
ampersand is part of a URL.  

Your example:

>  http://www.example.com/search?q=the+query&lang=en

should appear in both HTML and XML as:

http://www.example.com/search?q=the+query&lang=en
