I did notice, when working on my own things, that there was a problem of query 
strings with &-delimited fields would get interpreted erroneously.  I think I 
tried it on every version of every popular browser and only IE4 has this 
problem.  In my particular case, I had a field called "current" and IE4 
interpreted &curren (I'm guessing some currency conversion) into something ugly 
thus breaking the whole URL.  Back then I had no time to deal with it so I just 
changed the name of the field from "current" to "workingDir" and that fixed it.

IMHO the browser shouldn't interpret entities in an href portion of the 
anchor/imagemap/etc tags.  I see this as an IE4 bug -- it works fine everywhere 
else.
