So he didn't copy all of the feedback of the validator into his message. I should have checked that, sorry. The validator response is pretty clear indeed, though many people (the non-webdevs) that (only sometimes) make webpages, with copy-paste coding, or even "save as HTML" in MS Word or so, don't know what a URL is. This is a repeat question, so i guess people don't click the "Ampersands in URLs" link.
