 HTML validation is currently broken when a plugin adds a menu title such
 as "Foo & Bar".

 The & is not escaped in the menu output.

 The options i came up with are:
  * HTML Escape the titles on output
    * Problem: Title may contain HTML (such as comments and plugin bubbles)
  * HTML Escape the titles upon adding them in add_menu_page()
    * Problem: Breaks any plugins adding HTML through it
  * wptexturize() the menu titles on output

 The last seems to work correctly for me.

 We've currently got "Authors & Users" hard coded in, this changes that
 simply to "Authors & Users" as well.
