There might be something in the content that does not meet the eye. The string http://www.kath-zeitz.de/?mm=1&me=8 is correct and does not trigger an error message, but if I add e.g. U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE between "a" and "m" in "&", I get this exact error message. You should be able to see invisible characters when using a good editor like BabelPad. I have no idea why they would have been lost when you copied the code and the error message (if you did that with copy & paste). On the other hand, if my hypothesis is correct, then the zero width space or some other invisible character should break the entity reference and the browser should show the text as http://www.kath-zeitz.de/?mm=1&me=8 Does that happen?
