The browser tests worked in OmniWeb 4.1b6 in Mac OS X 10.1.5, but the email
client tests are looking to be pretty bad (not all that surprising though).

Mail setup:
Microsoft Entourage 10.1.0 (2006), Office v.X Service Release 1

I don't the omission of end characters surprising in the least, otherwise
emails like "Visit http://example.com/, and tell me what you think of the
new design" would fail.  I imagine this affects Structured Text URL usage
