The number of abbr's is pretty huge on these kinds of mailinglists. So the change of someone (_anyone_) missing one is pretty large. Nothing to call yourself 'silly' over. > And, BTW, I agree with your thoughts about clarity and simplicity > (causing performance 'optimality') of expressions.

I thought you were talking about the construction I was using, while you were - and correct me if I'm wrong - talking about the characters I allowed. And concerning those, it might very well be that I don't only allow characters allowed by specifications and even maybe I don't allow characters allowed by specifications. I didn't spend much time on that point. What I did was just creating the RE to parse the URL's. The allowed characters weren't really of my concern then.
