Still an issue in Schedule and many OSP tools.

r29722 addresses the most common case. It's not clear whether the velocity code is actually used and if so needs to be fixed, but I don't have commit access there anyway, so am leaving this open for the meantime.

Relevant code is in portal/portal-util/util/src/java/org/sakaiproject/portal/util/ToolURLManagerImpl.java and a possibly unused fallback implementation for Velocity tools in velocity/tool/src/java/org/sakaiproject/vm/ActionURL.java

This is a framework issue, Peter.

You are quite right. Will you log it as such? Many thanks.
FF plugin HTML Validator (based on W3C Tidy) complains about HTML like this:
<a href="#" title="Message of the Day Options" onclick="location = 'http://nightly.cet.uct.ac.za:8080/portal/tool/~admin-110?panel=Main&sakai_action=doOptions';return false;">
from tool toolbars, specifically that & (e.g. &sakai_action...) should be encoded to & citing inter alia this reference: http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/%7Eflavell/www/formgetbyurl.html
