The main issue I'm not sure about here is the use of ; as a query string
initiator (rather than a query string parameter separator). This use of
semicolons is completely non-standard, AFAIK, but it looks like there are
some web servers that are actually using it this way. Comments at the pull
request itself would be most useful (rather than by email).

HTML4 reccomended people use ; instead of & to
separate url
parameters, to avoid conflicts with entity references. However, afaik
most web servers don't support this (I think its mostly some java
things that do). See

Modern HTML5 abandoned this reccomendation afaik.
