Per Tim Penner > The new behavior you see is called munging the address

Wow, a new tech word!  Actually not new at all - the origin per Wikipedia 
is actually in 1958 at MIT.  Geez, where was I?

"Mung or munge is computer jargon for a series of potentially destructive 
or irrevocable changes to a piece of data or a file.  It is sometimes used 
for vague data transformation steps that are not yet clear to the speaker. 
 Common munging operations include removing punctuation or html tags, data 
parsing, filtering, and transformation."

Hmmm...sounds like a counterrevolution to the guys who promote data 
quality...
