This is still a problem. e.g.
While validating a page and you type:-
http://foo.bar.org/?value1=somestring&value2=someotherstring
Into the "Address:" input. It goes to:-
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ffoo.bar.org%2F%3Fvalue1%3Dsomestring%26value2%3Dsomeotherstring
This does not work and it should.

You have to type:-
http://foo.bar.org/?value1=somestring&value2=someotherstring
Into the "address:" input. Which goes to.
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ffoo.bar.org%2F%3Fvalue1%3Dsomestring%26amp%3Bvalue2%3Dsomeotherstring


When on the front page to the validator and you type in a URL to check it first
HTML encodes the URL and then URLencodes it.

URLs should only be URL encoded. so what is in the "Address:" input is the same
as what you would enter into a browsers Address bar and not what would be in the
html source.
