Even if &-encoded, I would just have expected that to be the output of a text transform over what was originally a BOM SNAFU :P
Possibly, but doing such replacements in your templates would still be a weird thing to do. At least if you set the encoding to UTF-8 anyway. I remember the days where you used Windows-1252 because IE was stupid and then & encoded everything outside of Windows-1252. *sigh*
You underestimate the number of layers to the onion of something as big as YouTube. It's easy for some weirdness to sneak in!
