To fix the above the first example href=”?i=1&x=2″ should read with &
like so
href=”?i=1&x=2″

Keep in mind that XML invalidates the & symbol when it’s located in the href tag.
To validate your XML you have to supply & EG: href=”?i=1&x=2″
When using this method the return value in the URI will return as “&”, and if you are using relative URLs in your application navigation, this will invalidate the DOM generated XML in most browsers and stop page load in Google Chrome (Safari).
Result: href=”/mypage.php?i=1&x=2″

Returns – EntityRef: expecting ‘;’

If you really want to display pretty URLs it’s better to use mod_rewrite.

I think this will break a 3rd party CMS(like wordpress).

@david: Maybe, but standart is “&” and many SE use this symbol to explode and analyze query string…

@wsr: Search engine sees it as the same — you wouldn’t be penalized by this.
