I was thinking that maybe this should be an extra parameter on PortletInvocationContext.encodeResourceURL like there's already a URLFormat in the renderURL method (though, the passed format seems to be actually ignored in GateIn Portal, see ExoPortletInvocationContext.renderURL and the comment I had added a while ago)…

When writing the same URL in a plain text email message or in the location bar of your browser, you would use "&" and not "&amp;". With HTML, the browser translates "&amp;" to "&" so the Web server would only see "&" and not "&amp;" in the query string of the request.
