I find this whole bracketting annoying and tough to deal with when copy-pasting URLs. What's wrong with no special markup at all: +1, also for UTF-8 (no BOM) in comments only without the HTML entities / tags etc etc and non-comment parts of the files to be restricted to plain-old ASCII until there is a compelling need.

Well is that punctuation at the end of your URL part of the URL or not? It's fairly obviously not in that case, but not always so. The brackets help to delimit the URL.
Thunderbird seams to think it's not part :) It is for humans in any case, maybe simply "require" to have an URL always need to be surrounded with 2 spaces (U+0020) ? just my 2 cents, Gunther
