HTML4 reccomended people use ; instead of & to separate url parameters, to avoid conflicts with entity references. However, afaik most web servers don't support this (I think its mostly some java things that do). See https://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/appendix/notes.html#h-B.2.2 Modern HTML5 abandoned this reccomendation afaik.
