Actually, whenever you represent the & character in HTML 4.0, you should write & even if it is in the middle of a CGI URL. This does not change the URL, only its representation in the HTML document.
Perhaps just use ";" instead to separate parameters in the URL.
It is not very difficult to do HTML 4.0 correctly. The change to XHTML is a much bigger step (and unnecessary, if you ask me).
XHTML 1.0 Basic shouldn't be that big. But its strict rules are a bear if we want to encourage users writing HTML markup (instead of Wiki markup). I don't know if we want to encourage that, though.
