Yes. But it will (should) be interpreted differently
depending on the context.
- "&" followed by "#" denotes the start of a numerical
ISO 10646 character reference.
- "&" followed by a letter (ISO 646 only AFAIR) denotes
the start of a character entity.
- "&" followed by a space (or most/all "special"
characters) is simply an "&" followed by whatever
follows it.

The new way of getting the "NOSHADE" effect on a horizontal
ruler is definitely using style sheets. There is only one
small problem. You have to do it through manipulation with
the foreground and background colours and the margin
settings (rather complicated, but more powerful than the old
way).
Play well,

PS: I don't work with SGML every day and I don't have a SGML
reference at hand, so the ampersand story is not
complete (and maybe not even completely true).
