There is a case where these colons in the scan url could be encoded twice.
If your browser did encode the colons for the link produced by the more tag,
this would not really be a problem. However, I believe if you were to use
the history-scan to "return to shopping" to this url, the area tag inside
the history-scan tag will encode the %3a to %253a which will definately be a
problem. History-scan could be modified to s/%3a/:/ig the url string or
maybe even better, entirely unencode it before passing it to the area tag.
