in reply to XHTML and ampersands interpretation

This is reply to "XHTML and ampersands interpretation" thread on Google 
Webmaster Help Forum:

(Google Groups does NOT escape the ampersand making it impossible to reference 
a piece of code containing it).


Anyway ... here's my "escaped" response:

You have a problem in your code (these are line numbers on the left):

114   <tr><td id="filters" colspan="2">
115   Filtered: High (<a href="/schools.page?district=101&amp;amp;state=CA&amp;amp;lc=h">remove</a>)
116   </td></tr></table>

NOTE the &amp;amp;state= it should be: &amp;state=
