uh, well --

Authors should use "&amp;" (ASCII decimal 38) instead of "&" to avoid
confusion with the beginning of a character reference (entity reference
open delimiter). Authors should also use "&amp;" in attribute values
since character references are allowed within CDATA attribute values.

Just because most browsers render basically *anything* thrown their
way regardless of validity doesn't make using '&' by itself right,
even with an HTML4 doctype.

You can use <c:param> and not assemble the query string yourself,
which is probably better practice anyway.

FWIW!
