These are now reported as Warnings even for Valid documents. Without digging too deeply into this it appears as though bare amperstands are not in fact invalid. I speculate that these do not introduce entity references since entity references cannot be null. You do get warnings about them, but only because the characters are significant to SGML. I need to dig some more to find out whether this is actually a bug in OpenSP. -- If you believe that will stop spammers, you're sadly misled.
