I think the situation should be that, if you really like the excessive
false positive hit rate of the new style of naked URL buttonizing, you
should customize it any way you like (feel free to probe the depths
and limits of the emacs regexp engine), but that the apparent vast
majority who don't like it should get the previous default regexp
back, which only matches real, legitimate URLs.
