Customizable Error Documents; spanish translations use '&excl;' instead of '!' to represent an exclamation mark.

           Summary: Customizable Error Documents; spanish translations use
                    '&excl;' instead of '!' to represent an exclamation
                    mark.
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.49
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: Rolf.Sponsel@kstr.lth.se

First I must admit that it's very surprising to me, considering there are more
than 400 million potentional users, that nobody has reported this issue.

None of Mozilla 1.5, Mozilla 1.6, and Konqueror 3.1.3 (which to my knowledge is
not Gecko based and thus makes me believe that this actually is an error in
Apache) do render '&excl;' as '!'. See TITLE of spanish (es) translations. 

Is '&excl;' really an acknowledged name for representing a '!' (i.e. &#033;)?

Other languages use the exclamation mark '!' explicitly in their translations,
e.g. german, french, swedish, etc.

Therefore an explicit exclamation mark '!' should be fine for spanish too.

Best Regards,
Rolf Sponsel
