Did you try to use a CDATA section ? I think that is the way to go for
XML-invalid strings.
Another way I can imagine to work is using entities, eg &escape;.

Notably if you do not have a DTD (which probably is the case and would
be a quite restricting dependency given that most XML parsers aren't
validating), you also can't rely on whitespaces ! 
So for encoding NSString's containing whitespace you also need to use
either CDATA or entities.
