#40 Trailing punctuation shouldn't be included on URLs

(This bug has been transcribed from FlexWiki.BugReport.
It was originally reported by Mike Schinkel on 7/3/2004)

When entering urls, you can't use any punctuation at
the end of a url because it gets included inside the <a
href>. Either it should sense invalid chars at the end of
the url or there should be a way to explicitly end the url.

It seems safe that if there is any of [.,;?!]... heck, any
single non-alphaNumeric followed by a space, that
character should not be included in the link created (if
you really need it in your link, you can %20 the space). -

That may make sense for http:, but what about other
protocols? The wiki engine can't reasonably be expected to
know the correct syntax for file: (OS-specific) or gopher: or
foo:
