hmm just use &amp; instead of & , and everything should work fine. I use
the &amp; on my site @ http://www.xml-dev.com/blog

Here is what is happening:
'&' signifies the begining of of an entity (e.g. &nbsp; &amp; &gt; &lt;
etc), and your URL reads:

....&mode....

The validator think &mode is an entity, which is not true.
