If ? is in that list, how can we support the following?

(At the moment, that wouldn't work, as we overwrite the query string when using the /wiki/foo alias; you'd just get /w/wiki.phtml?title=foo. However, it probably should work and it's easy to tweak the apache config for it.)
How do we know that the title of the page is not foo?lang=en instead of being "foo", and having the argument lang=en applied to it?
Because the page [[foo?lang=en]] would be http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/foo%3Flang%3Den
I really don't like the ':' separator in the URL section for namespaces, because it shows up as a hex encoded string, instead of ':' in my urlbar.
Your browser, like Mozilla, has a greater affinity for the hex codes and likes to display them even when it doesn't have to. What can I say.
Can we find some other syntax (not necessarily syntax within the [[]]) for accessing pages and specifying their namespace in the URL?
Why?
