      Confluence is doubly escaping ampersands in the link elements of its feeds. For example:

      <link rel="alternate"
      href="http://extranet.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=702677471&amp;focusedCommentId=702677855#comment-702677855" />

      This breaks the link, as the feed reader now displays the link with the &amp; rendered as & instead of the & it should be. This usually results in the comment not being highlighted. It also exposes a bug in a number of feed readers, including Thunderbird 2 and 3, Akregator and Liferea Feed Reader, where these messages are unable to be associated with their previous versions of messages, so everytime the feed is downloaded, the entry is duplicated (VERY annoying).
