Yup -- that's about 99% right! What happens is this:
yyyyyyyy
It considers "set:xxxx" to be a URI with a fictitious protocol called "set".
Thus, it considers "xxxx" to be a URL.
Then it considers "yyyyyyyy" (optional) to be ISO-8859-1 text to display
as the link label. If the "yyyyyyyy" portion is omitted, i.e.,
<set:xxxx>
then the link label is just the raw text "<set:xxxx>" as-is.
"xxxx" can be not only a 4-digit set numbre, but any URL-formatted string,
as you discovered. :) Space characters are not part of valid URLs, so the
space character is used as a delimiter for an optional label.
