Yes, I did, but refused to jump in: I believe it was somewhat
theoretic. In practice I have never ever seen a URL ending with a
period. Please give real world evidence of some useful URL. IMO it
wouldn't hurt, if detection fails in this case. I don't suggest
to forbid the '<' and '>' delimiters. Just make them optional.
This will work just fine in at least 99.8 % of all cases.
Regards, Peter
