@schwern: Thanks for the information on using `;` from HTML 4.01, I did not know that.

May I ask one question though, as Octopress is trying to serve pages under the HTML5 specifications (which is still in draft and all), should we not be relying on that?
And, this is what it has to say about the querystring delimiters (bullet number 8 under [_4.10.22.5 URL-encoded form data_](http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#url-encoded-form-data):

> If this is not the first entry, append a single U+0026 AMPERSAND character (&) to result.

I could be completely off the mark here, so please treat this only as a question to help me understand better.

Thanks
