So everyone can see what you're talking about:

<osm version="0.5" generator="OpenStreetMap server">
<node id="169532897" lat="50.9521054" lon="4.3022661" user="Polyglot"
visible="true" timestamp="2007-12-14T22:53:31+00:00">
<tag k="created_by" v="JOSM"/>
<tag k="highway" v="bus_stop"/>
<tag k="name" v="Driesstraat\"/>
</node>
</osm>

Are you concerned about the backslash in the name? I'm not an XML expert but
I don't think that's a problem because it's inside a quoted attribute value.
At least Firefox and my XML-aware text editor don't complain about it.
