Fixed in 1.3-SNAPSHOT build 201311221402

The subtitle and product fields were getting cleansed so that any entities or elements would appear as is, however this shouldn't have been happening and it should have only been cleansing other values.

Comment 4 Matthew Casperson 2013-11-25 21:08:26 UTC 
Confirmed that the entities   < > & " ' are rendered as their corresponding characters in the title and subtitle.
Comment 5 Matthew Casperson 2013-11-25 21:21:02 UTC 
Custom entities do not work in a subtitle. So 

Subtitle = &TEST;
Entities = [
  <!ENTITY TEST "Hi There">
]

returns

INFO:  The Content Specification is valid.
ERROR: An error occurred during processing please try again and if another failure occurs please log a bug.
