This is a feature grohtml (unfortunately -- AFAIK, Gaius hasn't found
a good workaround yet).  HTML stuff gets written as specials which
don't consume space for troff, causing some miscalculation if placed
at the beginning of a paragraph.  A workaround is to write

.LP
\&
.URL ...
|
.URL ...

this problem is similar to `leaving the vertical mode' with TeX.
Maybe we shall add `\&' to the macros?
