Agreed. Matt, what is this list for? We report 
and discuss problems. If the popular opinion 
doesn't reflect your own, throwing a tantrum will 
not help. If you put yourself in a position of 
semi-official spokesman, you need to listen to 
others.

I have no concise evidence concerning this 
behaviour. However, I have tried IE5 on WinNT 
(sorry, I don't have access to anything else). 
FYI both "&num" and "&num;" are NOT converted to 
anything. Both "&bull;" and "&alpha;" require the 
semicolon, but "&amp" and "&lt" work with or 
without. These also work within links.

The point being, it isn't consistent. If you are 
going to adopt the "copy IE behaviour" principle, 
you will have to look in more detail than you 
appear to have done so far.
