I can use a character of my choice, such as ";" or "X", if I am in control
of the server-side script and if I do not need to care about what browsers
do when constructing a form data set. This means, more or less, that
_usually_ I cannot choose the separator between fields but must use "&",
which shall be encoded in HTML as &amp; or using a character reference.
