[thelist] validating while using php

[Steve Cook]

It *sounds* like your validator is seeing the &id and assuming it's a
character entity (like amp;) and throwing an error there. Without looking
closer at the HTML 4.01 spec I can't say whether this is correct or not - in
WML (which is an XML based spec) you need to actyally escape ampersands in
URL strings, but I thought that was not correct behaviour in HTML documents.
