XML is not usable as "&" causes malforming of the XML file.
This is not accepted by apache.

log entry of apache:
[perl:error] [pid 34782] [client 192.168.178.134:44608] \nnot well-formed (invalid token) at line 163, column 16, byte 4427 at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.32/XML/Parser.pm line 187.\nXML::Simple called at /usr/local/share/perl/5.32.1/Apache/Ocsinventory.pm line 218.\n

other devices without SIM card (Tablet, windows clients, ...) could be inventoried without issues.
