It depends on how you view the problem. A different approach is to think that
the parser should be accommodated with the common though processes of users, so
for example, if two = signs are found within the context of one parameter.

However, as the person reporting this bug originally, I think there's no
definite solution to this problem. One might say we should modify the parser to
not treat = signs as parameter assignment operators, if they are preceded by
http:// (or other URI schemes), which is what I thought at the time of
submitting this bug; another person may say this will disable us from having
template parameters whose names start with http:// (although I can't think how
this can be useful).

So, again, as the person who originally opened this bug report, I'm totally
fine with Tim's alteration of severity, and I even think this can be marked as
a WONTFIX again.
