Question Full stop in keywords

I tried entering xyz.com but it automatically changes it to xyzcom - is it not possible to have a full stop (dot) in the keyword?

Word characters (\w), space (\s), comma (,), apostrophe ('), and dash (-) are currently allowed. Other characters get stripped, but if you want to allow other characters, you'd need to edit the strip_text function, appearing in both the gal_class_core.php and gal_class_dictionary.php files. Look for all instances of [^\w\s,\'\-] and add whatever you want to the character class, making sure to not allow unsafe characters.

Do you think it's safe to add a full-stop? Do you forsee any problems? Any reason why it wasn't included already, as it seems quite obvious you might want to link a web address or email address?

Thanks Morgan.
