Actually, if the URLs are in HTML pages, they should be encoded as:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.multimap.com/map/places.cgi?client=public&lang=&advanced=false&quicksearch=10+downing+street" target="_blank">http://www.multimap.com/map/places.cgi?client=public&lang=&adv...ed=fals</a>
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?GridE=-0.126586412154754&GridN=51.5032430799135&client=public&lon=-0.126586412154754&lat=51.5032430799135&place=10+Downing+Street,+SW1,+CITY+OF+WESTMINISTER&db=GB&local=&type=&start=&limit=&overviewmap=&scale=5000&lang=&db=GB" target="_blank">http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?GridE=-0.126586412154754&Gr...=51.503</a>
"⟨" is the HTML character entity for a left angle bracket and the
trailing semicolon is optional if the character following an entity is
not a valid entity character. Standards-conforming browsers will treat
"&lang=" on an HTML page as a left angle bracket followed by '='.
See RFC 1866 - Hypertext Markup Language - 2.0, section 8.2.1 at one of
these locations for more on this:
