Safari connector grabs incorrect DOI

[stakats]

At ​http://www.nature.com/news/2010/101013/full/467775a.html, Safari seems to think there's a semicolon at the end of the DOI, while Chrome gets it right.

Safari looks for:
​http://www.crossref.org/openurl/?pid=zter:zter321&url_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_id=info:doi/10.1038/467775a;&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal&rft.jtitle=Nature

Chrome looks for:
​http://www.crossref.org/openurl/?pid=zter:zter321&url_ver=Z39.88-2004&&rft_id=info:doi/10.1038/467775a&noredirect=true&format=unixref

That's because Safari is using the COinS translator, since the Nature page has COinS. Unfortunately, they've made a mistake constructing the COinS:

<span class="Z3988" title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_id=info:doi/10.1038/467775a;&amp;rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal&amp;rft.jtitle=Nature News&amp;rft.eissn=1744-7933&amp;rft.au=Zeeya Merali"

You'll notice that there's an errant semicolon at the end of the DOI -- and there's no way Zotero can guess that the semicolon is a mistake, since they're allowed by the DOI spec.

Chrome is apparently not using the COinS translator, but rather the DOI translator, which isn't tripped up by Nature's mistake.

I sent a message today to Nature about this-- the request was issued reference number #110807-000218. Any fix to this on our end would risk corrupting DOIs on other sites.
