So, to everyone on the list - what's your experience with semicolons as query string separators?

I've used them a lot; they're my preferred method of separating query args.

Is this normal or esoteric?

Something less than normal and more than esoteric, methinks.

And, even more interesting, does any client out there actually use this convention?

The clients don't create URL args; those are generated by the site in question or by the user's typing.

For the same reason, I'm not certain that compatibility is a worry: if the client is requesting a URL the server previously served, surely that URL is A-OK.
