But what does it do?  There is no 'b' in "Report a Bug in nXhtml".

This kind of interface is very bad for internationalization.  Although the 
string may get translated, how would we fix ?b in that case?  So for that 
reason I prefer some special character.  \001 as proposed sounds OK to me.  It 
would then be straight forward for the platform specific code to translate it 
to '&' or '_'.
