(I don't know about W3C, but) Yes, it can. I have been forced to use &
in the past where IE was resolving GET parameters to escape characters, even
though the semi colon was missing. In my case I had a parameter called
quoteId, so the request 
...?abc=123&quoteId=456 became ...?abc=123"eId=456

Changing the request to ...?abc=123&quoteId=456 fixed it just fine.

WIll anecdotal evidence do?

I would regard the behavior below to be incorrect - so the million 
dollar question is what is the correct behavior:  

Can GET parameters be separated by & instead of 
& according to the W3C, etc?

Don't have time to look it up myself - does anyone know for sure?
