[WEB4LIB] RE: Following standards

[george at library.caltech.edu]

Perhaps part of the angst in this discussion arises from a lack of clear
differentiation between the anchor text and the href.

When in HREF, do as the Roma..., errr, use straight URLs.

If one is compelled to spell out the link address as the anchor, use HTML
entities for any questionable characters.  [This is a phenomenon which I
have observed over the years, but which I have yet to fathom.]

Valid examples are left to those on the list with superior talent.
