           Summary: Something interpreting &pi. as π. Causing problems
                    with form handling
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://www.betfair.com
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: faye at zippysoft.com


I first saw this on the www.betfair.com site (I work for them).  If you're in
the US you won't be able to check this site though.  The url for one of the
frames is generated in javascript, and contains
?foo=bar&pi.regionId=GBR&pi.localeId=en&foo2=bar2.

What webkit attempts to load (according to the inspector is:

?foo=bar%CF%80.regionId=GBR%CF%80.localeId=en&foo2=bar2.

As you can see this means the form is improperly delimited and therefore fails.
 If I view source I see a pi symbol in the URL, so I'm thinking that something
is treating <ampersand><token><punctuation> as having an implicit semicolon
before punctuation.
