Ampersand (&) isn't escaped in the subject

Description
The ampersand-sign (&) isn't properly converted to & when it's in the subject line. This makes the resulting RSS2 feed invalid. (And consequently, many RSS readers will give an error.) I'm running the latest SVN version of Wordpress (2.0.1-alpha).
Testcase:
- Create a new post
- Enter the subject: "Me & you" (or "Dungeons & Dragons" or anything else with an ampersand)
- Save the post
- Validate the RSS2 feed
