Interesting. Even the most recent URI syntax RFC 3986 suggests that host names
in http URLs should be formed from the venerable [A-Za-z0-9.-] set
(<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.2.2>, in turn referencing RFCs
1034 and 1123), so that "lucinda_ball.blogspot.com" would be ruled out.
However, resolving that name via dig, or entering it into a browser does indeed
work, so it appears either hostname rules have been relaxed (and I am not aware
of that) or that hostname is indeed invalid but most software is lax enough to
make it appear as if the hostname were good.
However, given that somewhat similar issues 53184 and 80134 have been fixed in
nearby code (to allow underscores in UNC server names in file URLs), it might be
a good idea to clean the code up somewhat (maybe generally allowing the relaxed
RFC 3986 reg-name syntax, independent of actual schema). Though, for automatic
URL recognition, we have to be careful not to become too relaxed and produce too
many false positives.
Anyway, to work around this issue you can always manually mark a URL in Writer
text as such via "Insert - Hyperlink."
