Therefore it's better to use another key that better indicates the meaning or relation of the URL, such as website=*, wikipedia=* and so on (not sure if there are others).</blockquote></div><br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">
+1, where one of these more specific tags can be applied, it is better to use them, for the rest url will still remain a valid tag.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">cheers,<br>Martin<br></div></div>
