I beg to differ. All browsers take multipule fields from a form and
concatenate them with '&'s. That is the reason that '&' is required to be
encoded, so that it remains available as a field seperator. Technicaly
'&' is reserved for special meaning within a particular scheme. The
special meaning within the HTTP scheme is as a seperator for name value
pairs in query strings.
>From Netscape's HTML documentation:
A query string consists of a question mark, followed by
the name/value pairs to be submitted to the program. Each name/value
pair is separated by an &. Use the URL-encoded value %20 to indicate
white spaces and %0A to indicate new lines.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
