Could you quote and link to the section of the HTML5 specification which 
excludes URLs from the usual rules for having characters with special 
meaning in HTML marked up as entities in HTML documents? This isn't a 
change that I've heard of before and I can't find any mention of it in 
the draft specification.

(And please direct responses to www-validator not directly to me).
