Along with the assertion that a string starting http://… isn’t really a URL.

On the other hand, your Correctness simply doesn’t deal with the only reason these posts exist: To wit, does the blogging software assure unique addresses? It appears that WP does; it seems that SixApart’s software doesn’t.

Otherwise: Relying on defaults where feasible is the way most of us focus our energies on stuff that matters. I don’t plan to stop doing that.

In other words, the way I do it is correct and relying on defaults isn’t.
