[UA-discuss] Fun with linkification

[Andre Schappo]

With Respect To the auto linkification:

It seems to me that auto linkifying only a correctly formed lower case ASCII domain name would solve cases such as the G-20 example, below.

Actually the same auto linkifying principle could be applied to Cyrillic domain names and possibly other scripts that have case.

I'm really hoping this doesn't make Twitter rethink their plan to expand the list of TLDs that get linkified!
