Can't use character entities in Page Title field?

[JohnnyB]

I notice that you can't use character entities in the title field of the pages admin because the

Code: Select all

<link rel="next" title="Meet Our Doctors & Staff" href="http://www.optometricassociatesonline.com/meet-us.php">

Doesn't escape the Ampersand.  In other words the title above should be written like:

Code: Select all

title="Meet Our Doctors & Staff" 

to validate properly in strict.

Is there a way to fix this?  Shouldn't the backend recognize the character?
