Hi,

The discussion started in http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/hqvmy34jfknb2waa but 
since it's an important decision I'm making it a full thread here.

The idea is to know how we want to represent query string and anchors in links 
to documents in XWiki Syntax 2.1.

In 2.0 we were using: [[label>>whatever?queryString#anchor]]

The proposal is to move query string and anchor to a link parameter.

It be done like this:

[[label>>doc:mypage||parameters="a=b&c=d" anchor="..."]]

We could decide to use another syntax for parameters (ie query string) such as:

[[label>>doc:mypage||parameters="a=b,c=d" anchor="..."]]

This would make it a little bit less URL-specific.

The pros of this approach are:
- no need for the user to escape the ? and # characters in document names
- makes the syntax a little bit less "magic" and more formal

The cons:
- Takes a bit longer to write
- A new syntax to learn

WDYT?

Thanks
-Vincent
