Probably choking on the ampersand - I like rudy's suggestion - you might
try URLEncodedFormat() as a means to make it more palatable to the
validator...

<cfoutput>
<a
href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.chimp.com#CGI.PATH_INFO#?#URLEncodedFormat(QUERY_STRING)#"
target="_blank">validate</a>
</cfoutput>

Maybe?
