Hello

I heard back from W3C group I queried:

The character before the URL is U+27E8 MATHEMATICAL LEFT ANGLE
BRACKET, which is E2 9F A in UTF-8 encoding; see
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/27e8/index.htm
And the character after the URL is U+27E9 MATHEMATICAL RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET.

While not illegal, it is not the regular < > that is used. I wonder if
it was pasted from a mathematical wordprocessor.
