TIMELINE. permlink #153

I am able to create thumbnail icons in my Timelines by setting

icon="http://static.flickr.com/somefile.jpg"

They work nicely and create great timelines.

However, I am getting XML source errors (not well formed) when I use a form
of URL for icon that doesn't end with a file suffix, such as the one below

icon="http://links.pictures.aol.com/pic?id=a260VrNmEF17zRgNqyB3PdM8oXFx2va24u6yv
4xQp5Fd3Ig=&size=s"

Can simile XML parser/ URL handler work with this form of URI?

Thanks....fantastic tool!
