Slides for the Seybold Session

I think you'll find that the example in slide 23 will result in "Ben & Jerry's" showing in the aggregator (I think ' is entity in XML but not in HTML -- the FreeRoller guys had trouble with this for a while):

From the example:

Phillip: what browser are you running?  How does the following render?

  Ben & Jerry's

Dave: so... Mindreef doesn't mean "watch out for those places where ships tend to wreck", but instead means "a place where you can find some wrecked minds"?

Sam: LOL! You know, I think of a reef as a living artifact produced as a result of the work of a group of cooperating entities, rather than something on which a ship gets wrecked.  I didn't know you were one of those glass-half-empty guys.
