I disagree. URLs are well-specified. Per RFC 3986, the characters allowed in a URL are [A-Za-z0-9\-._~!$&'()*+,;=:@\/?]. Org mode should implement proper URL detection, not asking its users "to give it some hints" and using "a kind of heuristics". A string either is a valid URL per the relevant RFCs or it is not. -- Rudy
