It could be a question of interpretation, but the way I read the standard says you have to use the proper characters for a URL and shouldn't be encoding them.

> When an IDP login page includes idpui metadata certain characters are quoted, which includes / and : . Unfortunately this scrambles included URLs which means the URL for the included image ends up looking like
> src="https&#x3a;&#x2f;&#x2f;shibboleth.net&#x2f;images&#x2f;gryphon_64x82.png"
> in the image tag
> I suspect this breaks the html RFC, though most browsers seem to cope with it. Seamonkey however doesn't and the image isn't shown.
