I got the QUERY_INFO string sort and normalize function to work! Whoohoo! Now, on to the rest of the signature!
(Note the fourth example: the input fragment is 'bob=ted=carol=alice', but the equal symbol is a URI reserved character, a CGI argument, and an unreserved initial symbol separating keys from values in CGI arguments and is privileged in the standard; I made the decision to normalize the very first unescaped, but to escape every instance thereafter. I suspect this will not please some people, but it is the best interpretation I can come up with inside the mashup between the specification and RFC 3986).
(Note also the last example with the preceeding '&'; this happens when an empty argument is passed in, i.e. a QUERY_INFO contains '&&'; the empty string bubbles up to the top of the sort list according to asciibetical sorting.)
