Valid point.

You URLs still don't hyphenate. Maybe we're misunderstanding each
other here.

That looks good. The OP should test it on his document.

However, it has the implication that URLs are always hyphenated, as
far as I can tell. But it is in fact a practical solution which is
certainly what the user wants in almost all of the cases. I never
had a document where URLs protruding into the margin was desired.
