\url was redefined (sorry, that may be my fault) for the use within bibtex.

I don't know how to remove this little "bug", but I would insert URLs
in the following way:

Inside .bib, use url= instead of note=

@Misc{compact-filter,
  key =          {Compact Filter},
  title =	 {{Compact Filter:  An IDD Based Packet Filter for Linux}},
  url = {http://www.cs.aau.dk/tilde-mixxel/cf/},
  month =	 {August},
  year =	 2005
}

See bibl-apa.tex. It doesn't include URLs by default (perhaps it
should, but I don't know if it is still possible to do that without
people complaining because of the slightly changed behaviour if they
had url in their .bib files which were ignored before; comments?).

The example above is an @Misc, so you have to adapt the style for misc
to include url as well:

\setuppublicationlayout[misc]{%
   \insertauthors{}{ }{\insertthekey{}{. }{}}%
   \insertpubyear{(}{). }{}%
   \inserttitle{\bgroup }{\egroup \insertseries{ (}{)}. }{}%
   \insertpublisher{}{. }{}%
   \insertpages{}{p. }{}%
   \inserturl{}{}{}% ADDED
   \insertnote{ }{.}{}%
}

That way you'll get the desired output with much cleaner .bib files.
You can also use
\cite[url][compact-filter]
to get an active url in the document. (Taco, what are the square
brackets doing around the url in the resulting pdf?)

(I don't know if you can make the entry on the last page active as
well. In the example you didn't have it.)

The bad news is that you would have to do that for every possible type
of publication where you use URLs, but you used it in Misc only
anyway, so no additional work is needed.
