Comment 1 Ville Skyttä 2009-10-10 07:33:39 UTC 
That's right, please read the error explanation given by the validator.  Here's a part of it:

  Entity references start with an ampersand (&) and end with a semicolon (;).
  If you want to use a literal ampersand in your document you must encode it
  as "&amp;" (even inside URLs!).
