 Priority:  low                       |   Milestone:       
Component:  general                   |     Version:  0.9.5
 Severity:  minor                     |    Keywords:       
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 The '&' char is used in URLs to separate parameters for scripts,
 it is not escaped properly and lead to html validation errors, see
 http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fprojects.edgewall.com%2Ftrac%2Froadmap

 This can be devided into to parts.
 First, the scripts in Trac itself can be modified to understand
 other separaters in par with '&'. The w3 recommended char is ';'.
 Second, change '&' to ';' where possible and escape '&' where it
 is not possible to change, e.g. in external links.

 I'm impressed by Trac, thanks a lot indeed to everyone involved
 in its development!
