Is a url like http://example.com/foo?bar
valid?
I'm looking for a link to something official that says one way or the other. A simple yes/no answer or anecdotal evidence won't cut it.

They're perfectly valid. You could consider them to be the equivalent of the big muscled guy standing silently behind the mob messenger. The guy doesn't have a name and doesn't speak, but his mere presence conveys information.
It is valid: see Wikipedia, RFC 1738 (3.3. HTTP), RFC 3986 (3. Syntax Components).
