Okay, I put together a quick plugin to prove to myself that either the
use of &#038; 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.
