Why does the get variables use ampersand?
Like in the address bar we have ?foo=foo&val=val&var=var
Why not just use ?foo=foo;val=val;var=var
This seems trivial but when you want xhtml compliance you have to use & thats an extra 4 characters than if it was just an ; !?!

Think of all the wasted bytes!
