RE: validator bug?

Perhaps this error message should be accompanied by a note that says
that & must be changed to & to validate correctly...

I should also suggest that this question be added to an appropriate FAQ
since I've seen at least four people now (including myself) ask about
it.

 That this question repeatedly appears is a sign of a problem. Either
there is 
 no simple way (i.e. a guide doc) that allows a user to decipher error 
messages. 
 Or there is such a document, but it is not easy to find out about its 
 existence. 

 Perhaps error messages might be annotated with a pointer to a rule
about how 
 some error messages should be interpreted.
