I'm still not sure what you were seeing Markus, but I agree with Kevin. Out of the list he gave all are forbidden currently except the $ ; = and ?. I'm thinking we should add those to the list of escapedChars (actually, characters that won't be escaped) to prevent any confusion with these characters. There is a htmlentities plugin now that could allow these back in perhaps if desired using html entities.
