Well there is 10s of strings in other POs where & is used to express 'and' .. 
even worst in one file ( I will send it later) & is used within a word to 
express and .. it was B&W for Black and White .. how can we know that B&W is 
not an accelerator ..
using the msgfmt --check-accelerator that comes in gettext 0.11.1 I though 
that I catched 10s of accelerator errors, that turned out ot be & used for 
'and' ..

Should I report those as errors ? I got 10s of them :-)
