was in the reply to a question I asked to symantec. But the link stops after
symantec.com> and hence does not work.

It shows up when I view this page, so I guess it is a browser issue...

RFC 2396 < ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2396.txt > clearly states in chapter
2.4.3. Excluded US-ASCII Characters that "<" and ">" are NOT allowed in an URI:
"The angle-bracket "<" and ">" and double-quote (") characters are
excluded because they are often used as the delimiters around URI in
text documents and protocol fields."
Suggesting "invalid". Complain to Symantec!

Maybe I shouldn't have been so bold...
RFC 2396 states in the abstract:
"This document does not define a generative
grammar for URI; that task will be performed by the individual
specifications of each URI scheme."
Which means that RFC 1738 should be consulted. As far as I can tell
from the productions in chapter 5, "<" and ">" belong to "punctuation".
Hence they can NOT be part of an URL.
Do people agree?
