 * When the outbound URL has certain characters in it, the JavaScript will fail.
   Internet Explorer throws an error with “unterminated string constant”. Firefox
   does not give an error. I suspect that it’s the “@” symbol in this example:
 * Example:
 * `<a href="<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/20862202@N05/34522186582/" onclick
   ="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/comment/<a href="http://www.
   flickr.com/photos/20862202@N05/3452083282/');" title=`
