I think that you've missed the point - the ampersand is required to seperate
out the parameters - not as part of the value of a parameter. You'd use %26
if you wanted to pass through an ampersand as a value, but not for
delimiting the parameters.
e.g.
/pub.asp?meal=roast&pub=dog%20%26%20duck
would be used to pass through parameters meal and pub with values "roast"
and "dog & duck"
