No, it doesn’t, as you found out. However, on a tangential note: if you write web apps, *please* make sure that you support the semicolon as a query parameter separator as well as the ampersand: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/appendix/notes.html#h-B.2.2 More importantly, please **please** make sure that the URIs your code generates use semicolons rather than ampersands. Semicolons need not be escaped in HTML and XML, which makes copy-pasting users much less likely to produce invalid markup regardless of the context they’re working in. Even though this W3C recommendation is over a decade old, use of ampersands in query strings persists. (In fact, PHP not only does not emit URIs with semicolon-separated query strings, by default it cannot even parse them! You need to set an unbreak-me config option to make it recognise the semicolon.)
