[plt-scheme] Notable bug-fix in uri-codec.ss in the net collection
The library uri-codec.ss in the net collection has been updated in both exp
and v299. It is not possible to create a URL with ampersands (`&') in it and
then use that URL in a XML page created with the xml collection; the
ampersands would instead be escaped to `&'. We have removed the problem
by following the advice at
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/appendix/notes.html#ampersands-in-uris
Instead of using & to separate query pairs in URLs, we now recommend and
parse semicolons (`;'). For example, instead of
http://www.example.com/search?q=the+query&lang=en
now use
http://www.example.com/search?q=the+query;lang=en
