[OpenLayers-Users] util.js: Line 585 encodedValue = encodeURIComponent(value);

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

If your key is "key" and your value is "x?&c=f" then your url will be:
http://server/page?key=x?&=
Which the server will read as:
key = x?
c = f

With encoding yo get something like:
http://server/page?key=x%3F%26c%3Df
And the server will read it as:
key = x?&c=f

You can argue that you might want to add the extra c=f keypair,
but you should not add such a value there, because parsing the
key/value list other places becomes a real pain.
