Hi Ludo’,

If you're having problems reproducing the issue, it may be because some
security setting I have for my browsing (some setting in emacs-w3m and
some extension in firefox). If it really is necessary, I can try to
trace it, but I have each 'loaded up' quite heavily and it seems that
since Tobias has already identified the cause as an HTML "special"ness,
there's no need.

BTW, for some reason debbugs.gnu.org didn't automatically subscribe me
to this thread, even though I authored it. You seem to have actively
cc'ed me, but I needed to navigate to the bugreport URI to see the input
from Tobias and Quiliro.
