[UA-discuss] interesting UA issue discovered

[Mark Svancarek]

I have only anecdotes about how well or how poorly linkification works in the real world.

I am looking for a contact in Microsoft Office who might have some telemetry on linkification within Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, etc. (My small portion of the real world.)

I continue to believe that the guidance should include warnings about how poorly linkification works.  The scheme of the URI, the path portion, and the host portion (what we think of as the domain name) are each areas that cause trouble.

Best regards,
