Yes. Leave it alone. It is doing the right thing. It _SHOULD_ put an &amp;
in the URL because the web browser will convert it to a single '&' before
it loads the URL. It would be _wrong_ (and would work unpredictably, if at
all) if you succeeded in getting a solitary '&' output there (which would
be syntactically invalid HTML).
