According to

    <http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/appendix/notes.html#ampersands-in-uris>,

*all* &'s should be escaped.

It works fine with Mozilla Firebird and Lynx too. I think that the
error is so common that most browsers try to workaround it. The
workaround is ok as long as you don't have something like
"...&amp=..." (or another html entity) in the url.
