Bug: Ampersand is not replaced in URLs in html export [8.2.10 (release_8.2.10 @ /usr/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/org/)]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

Your bug report will be posted to the Org-mode mailing list.

Hi,

I write down some notes including URLs like this one:

http://www.reichelt.de/Drehschalter/DS-3/3/index.html?&ARTICLE=7217

afterwards I do C-c C-e h h to export my notes to an html-file.

I expect that the & is replaced by &.

But it's not replaced.
This causes the w3c validation to fail.

Kind regards
Fritz Reichwald
