Nmap Development: Re: Submit information text without whitespace

[bensonk () acm wwu edu]

I believe the proper way to put URLs in plain text is to surround them
with angle brackets, like so: 
"Service detection performed. Please report any incorrect results at
<http://nmap.org/submit/>."
I would like to suggest that if it is changed, it be changed to use the
angle bracket syntax.  

I can't remember where I heard that, but I think somewhere there is a
spec that defines how to represent URLs in various media.
