RE: How to specify parameters in the href attribute of xml-s

This is a bug in IE5 in dealing with "&" in URLs in the xml-stylesheet PI.
I'd suggest using ";" as a delimiter instead - if I recall correctly the W3C
has been suggesting this for years.  You will have to split the query string
yourself though instead of relying on available server methods to do it for
you.
