Thanks for the links. BTW, the trailing ">" you are inserting is getting caught in HN's automatic linking and being inserted into the <A> tag.

  RFC1738 - Uniform Resource Locators (URL) - recommends use of angle brackets in its "Recommendations for URLs in Context" appendix; when URLs are embedded in text. <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt&#62 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt>

    Sure, but HN mangles the links. If this was email it might make more sense - or if HN's auto-parsing code were changed.

      This is the Internet. It's filled with pedants. Some of us are even RFC-compliant.
