>From the HTML-4.0 specifications:
  B.2.1 Non-ASCII characters in URI attribute values
          
   Although URIs do not contain non-ASCII values (see [URI], section 2.1)
   authors sometimes specify them in attribute values expecting URIs
   (i.e., defined with %URI; in the DTD). For instance, the following
   href value is illegal:
      <A href="http://foo.org/Håkon">...</A>

And i strongly believe spaces in URI are forbidden too. IIRC Netscape
will skip everything after the space character.
So please use standanrd filenames ;-)
