Please observer that you snipped my message in a way that
makes it wrong or ambiguous: URL quoted above is the correct
one.  It leads to the page validation page, which, in turn,
contains the wrong URL:

   https://validator.w3.org/markup/check?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fant.insomnia247.nl%2Fpub%2Fhtml2.0.htm

Thank you very much.  I wondered why this error had not been
noticed before, and conjectured that it was because it is
observed with HTML 2.0 pages, but not 4.0, for which the
`nu' validator is used.

A simple fix, IMHO, is not to mention that URL at all,
letting the user copy it from thier browser's address bar.
