Well, Communicator 4.5 removed it.  The problem is when the algorithm
doesn't work, like with parens :-/

Hrmmm...  I normally try to not punctuate a sentence with a URL in it,
but I just went to this page before reading your comments and, without
thinking, only copied up to the l  - didn't touch the period.

Wouldn't most people do that?

Well, if you have to type in the URL by hand, or cut & paste it by hand,
then yes.  But many modern newsreaders display a hyperlink to click on,
and very few of these are smart enough to know when to remove the trailing
punctuation.  :)
