Comment (by IanMoody):

 It doesn't absolutely NEED to be escaped, but it will make the page fail
 validation if it isn't, and considering lots of users seem to struggle
 maintaining validation with only small edits to their templates I see no
 reason to knock their error count up another point, especially for
 something this easy to fix (I believe it should be anyway).  And
 hughbiquitous your problem sounds like the wrong content encoding header
 being sent by the page, that's usually the reason I see question marks
 when surfing.
