Correct -- it never breaks a URL, even if it's 300 characters long or more.
It may still break the *line* the URL appears on (and this is why I didn't
list this in the conditions above) but it will never break the URL itself.
The line-breaking algorithm *only* breaks lines at a space character (ASCII
32 or \040) and simply thinks of URLs as really long words.
