Topic: Valid URLs for links

Right now we have hyperlinks from the snapshot and differential pages into the definition pages that look like this: http://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/sdc/sdc-questionnaire-definitions.html#Questionnaire.extension:submissionEndpoint

I don't think those are actually valid hyperlinks because they have embedded ':' characters - and those are supposed to be escaped. Should I raise that as a tracker item?

Same issue with links like this: http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/sdc/2018Sep/adaptive.html#Actors,%20Definitions%20and%20DataFlow having an unescaped comma.

there's characters you have to escape, and ones you can escape

Are the links actually not working?

The links work for me but I'm concerned that if they're not technically valid,they might not work always or everywhere. Also, from a tracker perspective, allowing : makes it hard for me to distinguish valid URLs from concatenated URLs.
