Indeed I cannot refer to any RFC describing the relationship between
"&" and ";" in a strict manner, and that is the authority by which I
argue: why make changes to an URL that seem "correct" when nothing
actually says you're allowed to do that?

     {Will he, nill he}, whether he wills it or not; usually
        contracted to {willy-nilly}.

I don't think that the Yahoo server wills it, and nor did the OP :-)
