What I observed is that the parser is trying to interpret the value for href given inside double-quotes. The value contains a "-" (e.g. "http://some.domain.com/some-page-etc-etc <http://some.domain.com/some-page-etc-etc>"). The "-" sign is being interpreted as minus and then things go wrong. In another case I found that "\g" embedded in the value (e.g. "http://some.domain.com/some-page/global/something <http://some.domain.com/some-page/global/something>") is also creating issues. In essence, the parser is trying to interpret the value, which I believe, it should not.

Looking forward to some help in this regard.
