No. These are not errors, they're just warnings. The "&" character is
allowed to appear unescaped anywhere it is unambigious in SGML (not in XML,
but you are serving it as text/html). Thus the Validator warns you that the
character "&" is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data,
but does not otherwise cause your page to be tagged as invalid.
