 Priority:  normal         |   Milestone:  Unassigned                                    
Component:  General        |     Version:  2.8.4                                         
 Severity:  minor          |    Keywords:  ampersand the_title_attribute htmlspecialchars
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Titles with ampersand (&) are not correctly handled:[[BR]]

 1/ the_title_attribute() doesn't transform & to & causing XHTML
 validation errors[[BR]]

 2/ titles with & followed by ; generate truncated post name (slug)
 e.g. "Test this & believe ; what ?" => "test-this-what"
