Can a URL contain a semicolon and still be valid?

by

A semicolon is reserved and should only for its special purpose (which depends on the scheme).

Section 2.2:

Many URL schemes reserve certain
characters for a special meaning:
their appearance in the
scheme-specific part of the URL has a
designated semantics. If the character
corresponding to an octet is
reserved in a scheme, the octet must
be encoded. The characters “;”,
“https://stackoverflow.com/”, “?”, “:”, “@”, “=” and “&” are
the characters which may be
reserved for special meaning within a
scheme. No other characters may be
reserved within a scheme.
