Bug description:  arg_separator.output default value not html compliant

Hello,

The default value for arg_separator.output is currently '&' which although
functional is incorrect acurding to w3c.org's html 4.01 specification. 
the correct code to use in links (according to w3c) is the html special
char '&'.  Is there any reason that this is not the default behavior?

i.e.  

URL's rewritten by PHP's session url rewriter appends 

'&PHPSESSID=*sessionid*'...  odviously *sessionid* would be the true
session ID...   

This will fail the W3C html validator.  However if you issue a 

ini_set("arg_seperator.output", "&");

first (thus replacing '&' with '&') php returns

'&PHPSESSID=*sessionid*'.

 which validates fine.  

Again, this is not so much a functionality issue.. it's more Of a
conformance issue.  

Thanks,
Brian
