That way things like aboutlugins (about: plugins) wouldn't be affected __________________ "I complement you - your facility of understatement is exceeded only by your mastery of silence, but measuring this with the word 'shame' surpasses all your previous achievements in articulation" The Fifth Continent

Surely the smiley code above should be parsed but about:plugins shouldn't be?
