HTML 4.01 Specificationm, 17.13.4 Form content types:
2. The control names/values are listed in the order they
appear in the document. The name is separated from the
value by `=' and name/value pairs are separated from
each other by `&'
This has been true since rfc1866 (HTML 2.0). Was there a
browser that got this wrong at some point? The spec seems
clear that you should be able to depend on the ordering, if
you're into that sort of thing.
