Description

I have a category named R&D. In feed view of IE8 (and 7?), the category is rendered as R&D. The feed xml for the category looks like:

<title>Updated WordPress to 2.6.2</title>
<link>​http://example.com/wordpress/?p=7</link>
<comments>​http://example.com/wordpress/?p=7#comments</comments>

<category><![CDATA[R&amp;D]]></category>

I believe <category><![CDATA[R&amp;D]]></category> should be <category><![CDATA[R&D]]></category> or <category>R&amp;D</category>.
