A bit of a warning.

Seems if you post &deg you get the ° character.

Doesn't seem to need the semicolon to be included.

And it doesn't seem to care if its part of another word.
&degree becomes °ree

Also happens within the code tags.
&deg becomes °
&degree becomes °ree

Perhaps the new Focal Point won't do this.

Confused

I suspect it kind of has to do that so that users of Internet Explorer see the same output as users of any other browser. IE happily turns a string like that into an entity, even if there is no semi-colon (just like these forums do).

Sketch my surprise while debugging a generated URL that contained parameters involving amplitudes that seemingly had incomplete parameter names...

So, while focal point might address the issue in some future release, IE is still a point in the ointment.
