Well, it is standards-compliant. The same was once said about spaces in filenames, but look how common that is today. You and I may hate it, but so long as the RFC / filesystem supports punctuation in URLs / filenames then we can't complain when users use that feature. > I always try to separate urls with at least a space, eg, at the end of a > sentence, so there's no confusion whether/not that trailing dot belongs. > Be conservative with what you send, and liberal with waht you receive, no? > Me personally, I wouldn't worry about trying to contort a 'vim' script > to deal with crap like that. > It depends on what the job was, I suppose. > But *publishers* (like wiki) who merge urls with other surrounding > text/punctuation?

You might want to try to change wikipedia policy, however. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
