Which of the two versions do you get?
1. <a href="http://www.somewhere.com/?foo=bar&bar=foo";>clickme</a>
2. <a href="http://www.somewhere.com/?foo=bar&bar=foo";>clickme</a>
According to http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/appendix/notes.html#h-B.2.2
only the first one is correct HTML though most browsers can work with
version 2 as well.
