But that's impossible. "&" is the separator that the W3C.org
suggests, and I know I've seen sites that do it in a way that conforms
to standards.

I think I asked this question a few years ago, but I can't find it now
through Google. Still, the idea that every site that uses PHP is
non-conforming to web standards clearly can't be right.

I suppose "&" by itself would work? I'll give that a try.
