HTML question (OW not strict enough or what?)

> Is ~luomat an invalid link?

Yes, it is.  Or, rather, it isn't strictly invalid, but it should be  
interpreted in the way the other browsers are interpreting it (looking  
for a subdirectory named "~luomat" off the current directory), rather  
than working the way it is now (looking for a root directory named  
"~luomat").

The link should, in fact, be to "/~luomat" rather than just "~luomat".

We introduced the current behavior sometime between 2.0 beta 4 and 5.  I  
don't remember the details any more, but presumably it was to handle  
some bad HTML somewhere that someone complained about.  (I should have  
made it a compatibility preference, and will plan to do so for the next  
release.)
