I don't know that. The W3C specs for a link in both HTML and XHTML mention that the ampersand should be escaped as in <a href="http://www.site.com?parameter1=abc&parameter2=xyz";>link text</a> There's one more tag that uses URLs , it's <c:redirect - this requires an *unescaped* ampersand version of <c:url That is <c:redirect only works when the URL is http://www.site.com?parameter1=abc¶meter2=xyz and not http://www.site.com?parameter1=abc&parameter2=xyz May be if there are languages other than HTML that JSTL works with then, having an unescaped ampersand makes sense if those other languages require an unescaped ampersand. But I don't know if there are other languages at this point.
