Hmm, well, you haven't described how you're using the url produced with 
the s:url tag other than 'reusing the url #id in some OGNL parameter'; 
that's a bit vague. Assuming you're using OGNL to pass the URL value to 
a method you've written, you can pre/post process the value any way you 
want.

The s:url tag has an 'encode' attribute to control whether the URL 
should be encoded [1], which is true by default. Perhaps all you need is 
to set that appropriately.
