Read down to section 3.3:
| The path component contains data, specific to the authority (or the
| scheme if there is no authority component), identifying the resource
| within the scope of that scheme and authority.
|
| path = [ abs_path | opaque_part ]
|
| path_segments = segment *( "/" segment )
| segment = *pchar *( ";" param )
| param = *pchar
|
| pchar = unreserved | escaped |
| ":" | "@" | "&" | "=" | "+" | "$" | ","
|
| The path may consist of a sequence of path segments separated by a
| single slash "/" character. Within a path segment, the characters
| "/", ";", "=", and "?" are reserved. Each path segment may include a
| sequence of parameters, indicated by the semicolon ";" character.
| The parameters are not significant to the parsing of relative
| references.
You could argue for a %26 encoding for the Ampersand, but since it's
US ASCII, and it's not part of a {Registry|Server}-based Naming
Authority syntactic element, it's a pretty useless point of contention
(the original "&" encoding is still broken for standards compliant
browsers).
It sounds more like you are defending a cut an paste from a
"view source" window, rather than something cut from the
"Location:" display field. 8-).

Actually, it's spelled "Updates". 8-).
