No matte what various browsers may or may not accept, using sgml/xml
entities like "&" in a url does not conform with the rfc. The rfc wants
you to use the %xx syntax. like "%20" for a space. So one approach would be
to use xslt's translation feature to substitute "%26" for "&" in the text of
the url.
Another would be to output the url inside an <xsl:value-of> element with
disable-output-escaping='yes'.
Cheerss,
