Hi Richard,

I'm glad to hear that the web admin client is working well for you. The more
"hammering" it gets now the more confident we'll all be when it becomes the
primary administrative tool down the road, so please continue to test its
limits.

Regarding your notes about supporting the use of the & character, I did some
testing and was able to add the following lines to my DC xml (using the Edit
Content option for a datastream in the web admin) without a problem:

  <dc:description>&lt; Description Text &gt;</dc:description>
  <dc:rights>&#169; Fedora Commons</dc:rights>

I did, however, get an error when I replaced &#169; with &copy;. With some
further testing it appears that any of the HTML number encodings (see list
here http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm) work fine, but some of the HTML name
encoding cause an error. I'm not sure why this is. I'll open up a Jira issue
for this, but since it sounds like my tests are showing different results
from what you indicated, I wanted to make sure that this is, in fact, the
issue that you are having.

Bill
