The " & " in the finished "validated" CSS link will not validate HTML 4 and the new HTML5. HTML5 is certainly not ready yet, but you can't validate CSS3 with the " & " in the code for your webpage, but then you won't validate HTML4. When you change the " & " to " & " , HTML4 will validate but the validation link for CSS3 (and CSS2) ceases to function. When will the CSS " & " validated link be compatible with at least HTML 4.01 validation? (and also HTML5?) Just want to help if I can.

If i replace & with %26 the problem persists, i can validate with XHTML 1.0 Strict, but the validation link for CSS3 ceases to function. This is a serius problem for me.
If you embed this link in HTML by hand, you must indeed escape the &. Using & does not break the link and it is HTML-valid.
