I say crop the final punctuation /if/ we decide to let the software recognize
URLs minus the http:// as weblinks (which I think would be the user friendly
thing to do anyway).
There are /far/ more valid reasons why somebody would naturally want to write
"blah, blah, blah
www.napster.com." than there are webpages with punctuation
marks at the end of their URLs.
