question about links parsing

[cage]

Hi!

I have found a page with a link written this way

=><whitespace><URL><whitespace><linebreak>

that is, a withespace without the link name following.

How a  parser should interpret  this links?  Is this a  malformed link
according to specs?

My choice was to parse as it was:

=><whitespace><URL><linebreak>

like it had no withespace (and no  link label) after the URI, i wonder
if is  this OK, or  should i interpret this  block of text  like plain
text.

Bye!
