I recently started using the "creativecommons" Drupal module that Blaise has been developing this summer. Today I came across a bug that is rooted in CC's REST service (http://drupal.org/node/564816 ).
The output of the /support/jurisdictions call is HTML, but not fully to spec because it has a naked "&" character. I guess it depends on what version of HTML is being returned. HTML4 says & *should* be encoded as &. And if it's supposed to be XHTML, then it's necessary.
Specifically, I believe the output for "UK: England & Wales" should be "UK: England & Wales". The 1.5 and dev versions both output the former.
http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/1.5/support/jurisdictions
Could the output be entity-encoded? Or perhaps there could be an output like the ".js" for XML?
