Escaping Ampersands

Hi.  I've been escaping some html links such as:

<img src="http://jello/?foo=bar&name=aaron">

Which get translated to:

<img src="http://jello/?foo=bar&amp;name=aaron">

I know that this is the correct functionality, but I was wondering if
anyone could point me to a spec that says that the browser should
translate the "&amp;" back into an "&" before making the request?  I'm
not sure what spec to read through for this, and I would really appreciate a
link.  Thank you!
