Comment(by DD32):

 > It doesn't matter if it's used internally or externally. & is
 correct, because &feed, &cpage, &withcomments are not entities, so we use
 & instead.

 It does, Because URL's do not have entities within them(Only URL encoded
 entities within fields). Entities are what we use to escape the URL when
 used within a HTML/XHTML document source.
