        Fortunately, there's no ``file'' part in these URLs.  Consider:

https://mail.google.com/mail/h/STRING/?v=WORD&th=HEXNUMBER

        While the deficiences of the HTML code you've also noted seem to
        me mostly valid, they aren't of that ``grave'' effect that
        including `div' where it isn't permitted per HTML 4.01 has.
