Okay, but it's correct. Curious minds might try to invent wild
and wonderful workarounds for this "&-bug", all of them failing
miserably, not limited to my historically interesting browser.
It's no "bug", it's a "feature", the historically interesting
example tries to make this point as simple as possible for all
readers not familiar with entities and SGML.
It could be translated into a "if browsers would try to match"
etc. statement, but a real example is IMHO more convincing than
hypothetical speculations.
Bye, Frank
