Are you talking about File.URL, or are you talking about hyperlinks within
the HTML files?
If the former, then it's not FS related - interpreting URL files is an
application level thing. Dunno what browsers (if any) use them under Linux.
If the latter, then the HTML is broken - again, not an FS issue.

Joliet is Microsoft's idea of long filenames, Rock Ridge is Unix's. Both
also can support their own idea of permissions.

Pure ISO-9660 is (basically) guaranteed to work on anything. I've never had
a problem reading Joliet disks under Linux, but I've got Joliet support in
my kernels. You might not.
I've also never had a problem with RR under Windows - but I've never really
given it a full workout, because, well, Windows sucks.
