When you have a url like:
http://www.mysite.com/cgi/myisapi.dll/mymethod?param1=val1&param2=val2
in HTML, the "&" in the url is translated into "&" by
the browser itself.
(At least that is what do the versions I am using from
Internet Explorer and Netscape.)
This means that the "&" gets translated into "&" before
arriving to the CGI... with the browsers I use.
(I would say to check the standard but maybe it is always
safer to check the browsers one intends to cover.)

Ouch, that line got really hashed in the email.
But, I would suggest that IE actually expects there to be a semi-colon
after each of the "&"s
In HTML you used to get away with & , but XML needs the properly
formed & to work.
Whether this will translate through to your CGI is beyond me
right now,
but give it a go anyway...
