Snarky diatribe or not, it's still valid. Why do we need to see 3 lines=20
of noisy, superfluous data, with the relevant bit stuck in the middle?=20
Worse, the link contained javascript events that could have, for all I=20
know, not knowing their functions, interfered with the functioning of=20
the link. Regardless, the whole URL and its source in iweb is entirely=20
irrelevant to the issue: httpd doesn't seem to handle %20 correctly.=20
Why couldn't the testcase have been something simple and obvious, rather=20
than a bloated piece of HTML?

At any rate, it was not intended as unhelpful diatribe. I don't care=20
much if people want to use all of the ugly features of HTML and the "Web=20
2.0", but I'd prefer not to run across it when I'm reading 9fans. Plan 9=20
is the one sane corner of the computer world that I can take solace in.=20
I know that I'm not the only one who feels this way, and I meant it as a=20
sincere request for courtesy.

Just because you are paranoid
doesn't mean "they" aren't out to get you.
