Hi Michael,

See hostname.7:102.
There are URLs and they're not marked up in any way.
I guess there are a lot more like those around the pages.
Should they?

I'm not sure what you mean by "not marked up". That 
URI is wrapped in a .UR/.UE pair, and I think all of 
the others in other pages are too(?).

I meant the (fake) URLs around line 102.
And yes, I meant surrounded by .UR/.UE, which they're not.
But maybe it's exactly because they're fake?

Oh -- sorry, I misunderstood which line you meant. I 
think maybe yes, because they are fake.

Thanks,

Michael
