I have worked with the way IE handle protocol. This what I found it: 1-URL length is limited to about 1024 char not 20s;
2-Before pass the URL's string to An app. (Custom protocol in my case.) IE often (but not always) 'escape' with some weird formula such as & for an "&" or even &&amp. specially when you are using XMLHTTP. I don't know how to fix In your case but I believe that what happened as it does to me, Recommendation: Not using '&', 'space', '<'; '>'; in your URL. Or you can put your param1, param2 inside your SVG such as <param1 value=1 /> <param2 value=2 /> SVG player will ignore it anyway but you can retrieve it from the XML DOM Hope this will help you a little.
