Comment (by leewillis77):

 Hmm, it depends what you write:

 "This is great & awesome" < triggers the error

 "This is great & awesome" < does not - the & in & does not get
 escaped

 As a side affect, the latter comment also gets displayed in a browser as
 "This is great & awesome" rather than "This is great & awesome" - a
 prime example of why the current scenario is broken....
