A URL in a long-lived document can have the problem that the original owner stopped paying for it and it now serves malware or phishing pages. So there can be security implications. These can be avoided by using example.org, but if there's significance in the text of the URL that likely doesn't work. Yes, they should be marked up as code, not as links, as there's no expectation of traversing them and they are not expressing a link relationship between the context in which they are embedded and the resource they may or may not represent. So to some extent i think this follows from Web architecture and probably the HTML spec. liam -- Liam Quin, https://www.delightfulcomputing.com/ Available for XML/Document/Information Architecture/XSLT/ XSL/XQuery/Web/Text Processing/A11Y training, work & consulting.
