I think  the problem isn't  the amount of space  between the []  and the
UUID, but rather that most browsers cannot handle copy selection of text
that is  part of  an anchor  tag. Adding space  wouldn't make  it easier
because the  space would still be  part of the ``link.''  Placing the []
outside of the <a>  anchor tag is what I believe is  proposed to make it
easier to copy/paste.

Honestly, I'm surprised  that modern browser makers  haven't figured out
that copy selection of  just a portion of the anchor  text is actually a
desirable feature!
