method=html and encoding question

[mm...@lycos-inc.com]

I know this has probably been beaten to death, but I can't
seem to find a reference to it anywhere...  I'm taking some
documents and converting them to HTML and I'm running
into trouble on documents that contain URLs with parameters
on them...

To be xml-compliant, the old urls
http://x.y.z/a.html?a=1&b=2
has to go to
http://x.y.z/a.html?a=1&b=2

but browsers don't recognize the latter form...  Since I'm
converting the docs to html anyway, it would be nice to
be able to output to first form to begin with, but i don't
seem to be able to coax that out of my stylesheet.

Any ideas on how to accomplish it?

thanks
