That's absurd.

Tildes - note the spelling - are perfectly valid and widely used in URLs, for
the same reason they're used in paths appearing elsewhere, to indicate a user
name. The above system is configured to allow each user his own htdocs/ dir,
and the URL above will be served from Derek's account on that server.

What's more, what kind of (il)logic leads you to the idea that a URL can cause
layout problems? A broken URL wouldn't load at all.

That said, I'm not even sure what layout issues we're talking about here - it
looks pretty much the same to me, with IE6, IE7, Safari, and FF.
