telnet urls

[Stephen Fitzpatrick]

According to the URL spec
	http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Addressing/URL/5_BNF.html
a password can be supplied as part of a telnet URL as follows:
	telnet://login@hostport
which gives, when you expand the definition of login (::= user:password) and  
hostport (::= host:port)
	telnet://user:password@host:port

But OmniWeb (0.9.3, NeXTStep 3.0) and lynx seem to take the password as the  
port number, executing the command
	telnet -l www host password

Is the spec out of date, am I missing something, or are both browsers at  
fault?
