\input texinfo.tex
This is a not too short paragraph that demonstrates the line length
used by texinfo for formatting. It gets also used to demonstrate the
difference between justification on both sides and ragged-right
formatting.

shows that @url in @raggedright environments would need some
improvements. What about adding code to support something similar to
the `hyphens' option of LaTeX's `url' package? This, together with a
call to `\emergencystretch' at the beginning of the ragged-right
environment, seems to solve the issue.
IMHO, an underfull box is always preferable to an overfull one (at
least in technical documentation).
