Not that I'd agree with > them, but it would be a good starting point. One of the problems with style relative to urls is that urls are intended to be human readable in an international context. The Chicago Manual of Style is USA-English centric. urls themselves were invented within the same large linguistic context, and in spite of intent, reflect the context. Case sensitivity as a distinguishing/non-distinguishing factor in names is a case in point, where mapping features of one language/culture to another does not produce mechanical equivalence. Tell Toto we're not in Kansas any more, etc. I guess what I'm trying to say is that we shouldn't be surprised by code that used to work and doesn't any more, nor should we be surprised by seemingly trivial errors being the blockers. Especially when they used not to really be errors.
