New description:

 The author url from api.wordpress.org does not seem to do full format
 checking. Not apparent in browsers since they will understand malformed
 urls but is a problem when outputting elsewhere.

 Example:
 {{{
 <author type="string"><![CDATA[<a href="http:www.artificium.sk">Stanislav
 Gunčaga</a>]]></author>
 }}}
