URLs
Umm, no, to be honest I have never heard of such a
thing.
It sounds as if you are referring to URL's, and I don't
believe anyone has proposed changing the way URL's are created. Changing
the & to a ; seems like a disastrous idea, and in no way shape or form
could possibly be linked to new standards for HTML, since URL's are defined by
their own RFC and have nothing to do with HTML.
Maybe you're confusing the way you are supposed to write
character entities in HTML or something? Care to give a link to whatever
it was that gave you this idea?
thx,

Everything I read related to HTML 4.0 is that the & to
separate parameters (based on the older CGI convention) has been deprecated.
The W3C suggests using ; instead. Does anybody know if the servlet APIs (2.1
is the one I'm looking over) will ever support the ability to set the
separator rather than hard-coding the & character?
