When rendering certain links the underlying HTML seems
broken. For example:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-
1/books/handbook/security.html

displays correctly but is tagged as:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-
1/books/handb<wbr>ook/security.html

[note the <wbr> tag embedded in the URL]

Additionally, this link, when included in a Perki Page,
breaks RenderHTML all together, causing an internal
error message to be displayed on screen:

http://groups.google.com/groups?
selm=1045984525.3e58750d27f24_ra.dweebsoft.com%
40ns.sol.net

    The <wbr> tag is not wholly legitimate, since it's not in
    any w3c spec. I was gunning on the possibility that nobody
    used a browser that didn't support it, but apparently it's
    not uncommon. I'll weed that out.

    I wasn't able to reproduce the crash Internal Error, but
    there was definitely a problem with the way links are
    rendered. I've removed some advanced cosmetic features that
    were conspiring to cause the problem.
