I think I get this now... the DB finds the first thing after "<set:"
And makes the link say everything after the first space... (" ")

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.
