CredIT Taxonomy "Writing - Review & Editing" is written in JATS output as raw text instead of HTML entity "&"

Note that the metadata value "label" in "author/affiliation" is in Markdown "^1^" yet it produces the JATS output styled acordingly "<xref ref-type="aff" rid="aff1"><sup>1</sup></xref>", but in the case of the CredIT Taxonomy metadata value "- credit: writing-review-editing" it produces the JATS output as "<role content-type="https://credit.niso.org/contributor-roles/writing-review-editing/">Writing – review & editing</role>" instead of using the corresponding HTML entity "&", which leads to an invalid XML file.

I'm not really sure on how this new CredIT Taxonomy feature works in pandoc but I'm assuming that the text "Writing – review & editing" comes from an online source and is written directly inside the tag , thus, not being treated and converted as Markdown.

Pandoc version?
Tests were performed in the latest pandoc version installed on Windows 11 (64-bit)
