I'd agree, but it also seems like Netscape and IE and perhaps other
browsers are "being nice" and properly encoding URLs for broken HTML like
this. In this case, htdig should act similarly. Basically the ht://Dig
package as a whole tries to *output* and *act* according to standards, but
expects that it will receive a variety of non-standard input.
