A recent thread on my LUG mail list lead to the HTML 1.0 spec at
w3.org for a slightly different topic (excessive whitespace).  I did
some digging there and found a few pages that might be useful:

http://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/4_Recommentations.html says
characters that could cause trouble on other systems should be encoded
as hexadecimal values after a percent sign.

http://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/uri-spec.html goes beyond that to say
that in general non-ASCII characters need to be escaped.  A little
lower they say that all 8-bit characters must be encoded to prevent
unsafe responses on some systems.

Based on that, it looks like the example URL does not follow W3C's
rules for HTML.  This leaves open the question of how Mahogany should
handle it.

Hope that helps,
Steve Florkey
