Hi,

I'm going to reply to both Micah and Milo's messages together.

That behaviour should have changed in Edgy. We've modified the way we
use entities in translations.

If you want to localise a particular URI, simply replace the entity with
the full URI you want it to point to. So:

<ulink url="&wiki-filepermissions;">

will become:

<ulink url="http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/PermessiFile">

Hope this helps.
