 I was running an HTML5 validator on one of the sites I manage and noticed
 that the_author_posts_link is not properly escaped.

 For example,

 {{{
 <a href="http://www.chud.com/author/William Thomas-Berk/" title="Posts by
 William Thomas Berk" rel="author">William Thomas Berk</a>
 }}}

 Notice that the URI has a space in it that should be encoded as {{{%20}}}
 before being output.  As a result, there are a lot of HTML validation
 errors being shown as a result.
