Problem with dates while generating HTML

Given the following header contents:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Problème date
- [[file:2012-02-29.org::*Notes][2012-02-29]]
- [[file:2012-02-29.org::*Notes][Du 2012-02-29]]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

here is how it is shown in the Web browser after publishing:

[-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 184 bytes --]


I added "Du " as a prefix to get going, but the ideal would be to
directly use 2012-02-29 as the link description.  Is there a way, or is
it a limitation (or a bug)?

[2012-02-29] looks like an inactive date, as well as the description of
a link.  I presume the ambiguity causes this problem, so you somehow
have to disambiguate it.  Prefixing it with Du (or just about anything,
including a space) is one way to do that.

So a limitation certainly - a bug? Maybe, maybe not.

I would call it a limitation.

Could it be documented somewhere appropriate?  Along with Nick's
suggestion of prefixing the date with a space to prevent the problem.

Yes, it could be documented in an appropriate place in Worg.

Please suggest one and send a patch!
