For more information, take a look at "B.2.2 Ampersands in URI attribute
values" of HTML 4 Specification, at:

The "problem" is that you cannot use "&" directly within URI attribute
values; you may use character/numeric entity references in normal text.
As far as I can see, your page doesn't include "&" within URI
attribute values, so that "problem" won't affect you. Just validate
your page with the validator, and fix other problems.
