Comment(by sivel):

 I do not think this should be done.  Not encoding the ampersands will
 break xhtml validation and I have tested that it does indeed works as
 expected while encoded.

 From my email to wp-hackers:

 Okay, I put together a quick plugin to prove to myself that either the
 use of & does work or does not work.  In short I found that it
 *does* work.

 I'll even provide my plugin code so that anyone else who wants can test
 it.

 The code can be found at http://gist.github.com/71796.txt

 Save this as a .php file and place in your plugins directory.  Once
 activated navigate to your blog and you should see a javascript alert
 that either says 'IT WORKED!' or 'IT DIDN'T WORK!" followed by some
 extra data.  It won't do the alert in the admin as I figured it might
 be annoying to try to deal with the alert while activating and
 deactivating.
