Summary URIs not correctly handled in XHTML document anchor tags

In XHTML documents, Safari doesn't correctly handle ampersands in the href attribute of anchor tags. If ampersands are encoded (which, from what I can tell of the XHTML and XML specs, is strictly speaking wrong, but nevermind) into &, Safari converts them to & in the final URL. So (see the URL given for an example), the URL http://127.0.0.1/&notarealurl becomes http://127.0.0.1/&notarealurl . This might be correct behaviour according to the spec, however not encoding the ampersand results in an error (see the second page, http://bowmore.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/safari_ampersand_bug2.xhtml ) instead. As such, it appears there's no way of using URLs with ampersands in them, in XHTML pages, under Safari!
