no. we're using xhtml. This means the & has to be encoded as &. Your
browser will interpret that and use the correct URL.
The mod_security rule above complains that there is no parameter name
for the timestamp. Or that there is no value for the parameter named
1210159793. Whatever, it's a valid URL and this mod_security rule is
stupid.

This timestamp makes 100% sure neither your browser nor any proxy will
use a cache to access that URL. It's a common way to make an URL
absolutely uncacheable.
Ask your admin to fix the mod_security rule.
