Upgrade StorageWrongly coded ampersand in publisher fields from ACM site?
I attempted to get the bibliographic data from following two ACM web sites into Zotero:
http://dl.acm.org.ezphost.dur.ac.uk/citation.cfm?id=261187
http://dl.acm.org.ezphost.dur.ac.uk/citation.cfm?id=578382
In both cases this resulted (reproducibly) in the publisher filed containing "John Wiley & Sons, Inc."
The ampersand character was wrongly represented as literal HTML entity. The web pages seemed to be displayed correctly in FF.
Is the decoding (respectively re-coding) from HTML to Unicode (or ASCII) missing or faulty? Or is something wrong with the web pages?

adamsmithThe problem is on ACMs side--they frequently put html encoding into their bibtex, which we use to import--but we can take a look at fixing it.

zuphilipI wrote ACM about the issue as I did on another error in their BibTeX files (chapter, title instead of title, booktitle). However, I am still waiting for a real answer from ACM to that.
