Running some pages through a the W3.org HTML validator I learned that the HTML
4.01 Transitional standard requires query vars to be separated by & instead of
&. E.g.

      http://wwww.thecodemill.biz/vars?bla=bladibla&blurb=blabla

should be

      http://wwww.thecodemill.biz/vars?bla=bladibla&blurb=blabla

Yet if you follow the above links you'll notice that AOLserver does not handle
query vars separated by & very well. Rather than treating & as an entity.
AOLserver replaces the & character which results in a var named 'amp;blurb'
instead of 'blurb'

Google for example treats & and & separated queries the same. Shouldn't
AOLserver be patched to stay standards compliant?
