I thought that square brackets were actually part of the HTML spec, not
PHP, so the fact that ASP.Net cannot use them is just another example of
M$ doing their own thing again...
Why did you think that?
I think you'll find square brackets are a PHPism and that PHP is
actually a freakish oddball in not interpreting key=bar&key=foo&key=quux
as $_GET['key'] = array( 'bar', 'foo', 'quux' );
Contrast:
* PERL CGI module: http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/linux/cgi/ch05_02.htm
* Python urlparse library:
http://docs.python.org/library/urlparse.html#urlparse.parse_qs
* Ruby on Rails: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/6645
IIRC there's nothing in the URI, HTML, or CGI specs that enforces how
these should be interpreted.
