Interesting problem.
What's odd is that   is translated in the .sgml -> .html conversion
(carried out by sgmlnorm) but & isn't (it appears as a literal "&"
in the HTML output, as it should).
I think this is hardcoded in sgmlnorm. If you look at
/usr/ports/textproc/jade/work/jade-1.2.1/sgmlnorm/SGMLGenerator.cxx
you'll see (at the bottom of the file) SP_NAMESPACE_SCOPE, which seems to
special case lt, gt, amp, and quot for processing.
This might be something that's fixed in OpenJade, which is at
http://jade-cvs.avionitek.com/
if anyone can take a look.
