Description

if the name of a blog has an HTML escaped character, then the
escape sequence itself appears instead of the character. That is, my
blog is named:

$<blog

which in HTML I represent as:

$<blog

in order to escape the "<" character properly. In my blog itself this is
properly formatted as $<blog, and similarly when my blog's name appears on
other web sites like bloglines.com it appears properly. But on the top
page of blogs.sun.com showing the title of each new Sun blog post, the
line for posts from my blog looks like this:

$<blog | General | Aug 28, 2005 9:21:14 PM | Link

That is, the "<" appears literally instead of being converted back to "<".
I presume anyone else who uses such sequences in their blog name would have the
same issue.
