OTOH, isn't XHTML very different?

 From http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd

  <!ENTITY % URI "CDATA">
    <!-- a Uniform Resource Identifier, see [RFC2396] -->

  <!ELEMENT a %a.content;>
  <!ATTLIST a
    %attrs;
    %focus;
    charset %Charset;  #IMPLIED
    type %ContentType;  #IMPLIED
    name NMTOKEN #IMPLIED
    href %URI;  #IMPLIED
    hreflang %LanguageCode; #IMPLIED
    rel %LinkTypes;  #IMPLIED
    rev %LinkTypes;  #IMPLIED
    shape %Shape;  "rect"
    coords %Coords;  #IMPLIED

Okay, doesn't that mean that href is CDATA?  And hence 
"foo?bar=baz&fred=barney" is right and "foo?bar=baz&amp;fred=barney" means 
something else entirely?

Of course, I'm probably misreading the specs...please correct me where I'm 
going wrong.

Mark.
