--- Comment #1 from Olivier Thereaux <ot@w3.org>  2008-12-15 13:25:01 ---
The "#38;" are the issue here. # is used in URIs to determine an fragment
within the URI, e,g:
http://example.com/resource#go_there

but the fragment cannot have the "#" character in it. As a result, the
validator complains (as it should) when seeing two of those in a URL.
