Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: lshw


Example of buggy output:
<resource type="irq&quot; value=&quot;51" />

It's true that the above now parses as XML.  It's not true that it's
correct output!  The output should be:

<resource type="irq" value="51" />

See exiz ticket #115 for a bug which is gone.  Alas, there's now a
different but similar bug in the xml output of lshw (at least in Ubuntu
10.10).  I suspect the fix applied to the #115 bug created this new bug,
reported above.  I attempted to report the problem to exiz but their bug
tracking stuff is broken, perhaps by Trac.  It rejected my report as
spam.  So above is the report that exiz rejected.
