hxxp seems to be advantageous for a few reasons:
1. you can still cut and paste the url
2. the protocol handlers won't load it up if you accidently click
on it
3. you can add a protocol handler for hxxp for whatever you want
4. easier to recognize domains and patterns (rather than rotted urls)
5. already widely accepted in spam fighting groups
6. trivial to do and undo with no exception cases
I figured I'd put down my thoughts to try to help a standard to move
forward.

Hi,
I was wondering if it would be more helpful if we could propose a
"standard"
for posting broken URLs with some form of start/end indicator to
allow
easier automated processing from the listings?
I was thinking that it would be nice to post them just rot13'd. Still
trivially decoded (i use leetkey add-in in ff) but not picked up by
indexers/etc. Advantage is that it can still be searched for common
patterns.
