They're not URLs.

If we made our parser match them, we'll get a bug the next day from someone
saying things rendered as links which are not.such as those last two words
there, where I deliberately missed a space after the full stop - or every dbus
path we type, or any number with a decimal point. €0.10 should not be a link,
but 127.0.0.1 maybe should be. maybe.

Before anyone can start fixing this we need a big list of test cases of what
does and doesn't render as a link on GTalk, and decide what our intended
behaviour should actually be, otherwise you'll just go coding round and round
in circles.

It could be google actually look up what is and isn't a domain, maybe it knows
top level domains, or maybe it is simple words with dots in them. 

Also if the URL catching is good enough for Konversation (which is a mature
project) is it not good enough for us?
