Please, is there a workaround? Are you sure that putting the escaped & in there is a problem? If you send <embed flashvars="zoomifyImagePath=img/someFn&zoomifySplashScreen=0" to a browser, it should interpret that attribute value as "zoomifyImagePath=img/someFn&zoomifySplashScreen=0" which is presumably what the plugin wants. If you could persuade the generated HTML to include <embed flashvars="zoomifyImagePath=img/someFn&zoomifySplashScreen=0" you'd be relying on quirky parsing at best. OTOH, maybe what I've just said applyes to XHTML but not HTML. Still, it might be worth testing...

I had convinced myself it was the problem, but as a test, I saved the ouput, changed & to & and reloaded the static page and ended up with the same result, so, something's up with the plugin. Thanks for zeroing in on this one.
