Paul,

  Since the URL is set in a monospaced typeface it's not nearly as noticable
as we'd think. It turns out, though, that the size doesn't always return to
\normal at the end. Haven't figure that one out yet.

As to \url not splitting at the dot, its workings are a bit of a mystery,
but IIRC there are some parameters (documented in the style file itself)
that you can tweak to induce splits.

  I did have an option in the \usepackage command, but it didn't seem to
help.

  For this particular document -- proposed federal regulations originally
published in the Federal Register -- there are so many URLs embedded in the
text that it's distracting and ugly. So, I went back and put them all in
footnotes. Much easier reading and cleaner looking.
