For a completely valid XHTML document you have to set the arg_separator, use this before you use output-add-rewrite-var:
<?php
ini_set('arg_separator.input', '&');
ini_set('arg_separator.output', '&');
?>

output_add_rewrite_var — Add URL rewriter values
$name
, string $value
)This function adds another name/value pair to the URL rewrite mechanism. The name and value will be added to URLs (as GET parameter) and forms (as hidden input fields) the same way as the session ID when transparent URL rewriting is enabled with session.use_trans_sid. Please note that absolute URLs (http://example.com/..) aren't rewritten.
This function's behavior is controlled by the url_rewriter.tags php.ini parameter.
Note: Calling this function will implicitly start output buffering if it is not active already.
nameThe variable name.
valueThe variable value.
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Example #1 output_add_rewrite_var() example
<?php
output_add_rewrite_var('var', 'value');
// some links
echo '<a href="file.php">link</a>
<a href="http://example.com">link2</a>';
// a form
echo '<form action="script.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="var2" />
</form>';
print_r(ob_list_handlers());
?>
The above example will output:
<a href="file.php?var=value">link</a>
<a href="http://example.com">link2</a>
<form action="script.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="var" value="value" />
<input type="text" name="var2" />
</form>

Just to clarify...
session.use_trans_sid does NOT need to be enabled in order for output_add_rewrite_var() to work.
This function also adds a parameter to <input type="image"> fields!
Example:
This code:
<?
output_add_rewrite_var ('var','value');
echo '<form action="" method="post">
<input type="image" src="image.jpg" alt="go">
</form>';
?>
will output something like this:
<form action="" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="var" value="value">
<input type="image" src="image.jpg?var=value" alt="go">
</form>
