IRI or HTTP don't define the use of & and =.

I think you missed my point entirely. I didn't say anything about using & or =. I was merely suggesting that we pick a format (any format) and declare it the one and only format permitted. I was under the (mistaken) impression that a server should be able to process a query regardless of how it is formatted.

That's pretty frightening. I've never come across anything like that
before.

At least "&" can be replaced with, e.g. ";".

That's irrelevant. You can still access the query string directly in php.

However, Eric has already answered this question so there's really no need for more examples. I'm convinced.
