In a traditional bad-HTML-on-the-web doc, of which there are billions, you'd quite likely just write it as

<img src="foo?bar=1&baz=2">

and the browser would be forgiving and figure out what you meant.

Unless the url was something like: compare?original=1&copy=2

In which case many browsers would treat the "&copy" as a copyright symbol, and your url would be completely bolloxed.

I hope you were not suggesting it was ok for a markup generation tool to deliberately output something like that.
