mmm. But we already have escaped & in mirror_list.pl in lines 601, 621
and 675:

https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/webwml/webwml/english/mirror/mirror_list.pl?view=markup


601  $sponsorname =~ s/&(\s+)/&$1/g;

And from my commandline:

$ ./mirror_list.pl --type sponsors | grep und

produces:

<a href="http://www.1und1.de/";>1&amp;1 Internet AG</a>

So how 1&amp;1 becomes again 1&1?
