When I query the flairlist api (http://www.reddit.com/r/\/api/flairlist/.json), ampersands (&), less than (<), and greater than (>) are html-entity encoded when I feel that they shouldn't be as I am dealing with json, not html pages.

I suspect similar html-entity encoding occurs in other APIs though I haven't verified that.
