Ok so a certain Gnome asked my advice on why the :bnb: RSS feed was broken, and I found that there were 2 ampersand's in the posts. Do any of my knowledgeable albeit limited quantity of readers know anything about what can be done, perhaps in a text replacement hack, to make the ampersand show up in both HTML and XML, without messing up the feed? Please, feel free to shoot off an email and let me know what you have as idea's.

just wondering if it as simple as replacing the "&" with "&" - i know that I was having this problem when I was verifying xhtml compliance. Some systems thing that the & is attempting to utilize a varialble that would not have been defined, but replacing it with "&" tells, at least browsers, to convert it to a symbol.
ok - now reading my post - I noticed that the browser went ahead and converted, I was trying to say:
replace "&" with "& amp ;"
the "& amp ;" needs to be written without spaces to work (fricken "pre" tags don't even help!)
You could write 'replace "&" with "&"' to get 'replace "&" with "&"'
