Just had an hour-long battle with an exception to that rule!
I yanked from google/firefox and pasted a link into org-mode/emacs.
When exported to html that link was having some junk character(s) that was giving a broken link on being clicked.
Naturally my mind was going along the lines "bug in org exporter..."
Cut down the org file to a single header and the link. No luck
Switched from org to fundamental mode -- same -- no character in the link in emacs but some junk on html-export.
Finally switched to vi. It showed me:
[[http://cs.brown.edu/people/pw/papers/monist.ps<200e>][Philosophical diffs between OOp and FP]]
200e??? What the hell...
Asked emacs to describe-char (the nothing at that point!) and that is something called 'left-to-right-mark'
So humble request: Please show what is there!
Emacs version 23.4.1
