During the course of my career, I’ve had to deal with some quite bizarre things jumping out at me from the source of pages. One developer I know, from a well-respected firm (to spare your blushes I won’t link to it, Kev) is in the habit of using <div id="mchammer">

“because it’s a wrapper”) but I think such oddities, which don’t break any SGML or XML parser, have pretty much broken me. I was briefly stymied this morning by the following querystring (identifying information stripped out):

http://app.whitelabeldating.com/api/wld.cfm?siteid=XXXX&apikey=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&method=latest_members&gender=2&maxage=90&limit=3

At first glance, I briefly found myself wondering, “A pikey? What’s a pikey got to do with it?”
