When using sessions, PHP auto-appends '&' characters to be links. This is a problem if I then run my code through the W3C HTML Validator. It gives the error:

Error: unknown entity "PHPSESSID" 

When it sees &PHPSESSID= etc... appended to my links.

Would it be possible to have the auto-appended ampersands replaced by '&' as described here

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/appendix/notes.html#h-B.2.2

as then sites using PHP and sessions will pass the W3C Validity check.
