The 4.0 spec says that urls of the type Interchange builds must encode the
ampersand, using ?mv_session_id=something&mv_pc=3 or & instead of
& because of the conflict with using & to indicate character entities.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/appendix/notes.html#h-B.2.2
They recommend the use of ; instead of &. I've wanted to go through and
see what it would take to convert since back when I was using Minivend,
but never got the time to do it.
