My naïve answer would be that if the "&" introduces a syntactically-valid entity reference or numeric character reference, it should be used as is, but if not, it should be escaped. In particular, I don' think ";" could occur unescaped in a valid URI so it should be reliable as an indicator of an entity or numeric character reference. My use case was copying URLs from a browser and pasting into the attribute value field.
