I don't know either. The entire normalizeEntities function was
introduced with the & line commented out in version 1.0. The escaping
specific to code blocks was introduced then as well. Yet the change
log says nothing about it. Makes me wonder if there was some other use
case where we wouldn't want escaping of & that I'm not aware of.
Perhaps Yuri could shed some light on that.

I like it. Did a little testing and *I* haven't been able to break it.
