The discovery was made recently and a bug report was posted toOpen Radar
<http://openradar.appspot.com/13128709>. First off, it's worth noting
that the bug only appears to be present in OS X Mountain Lion and is not
reproducible in Lion or Snow Leopard. That's not exactly good news given
that this is the latest release of Apple's operating system, which an
increasing number of Mac users are switching to. ... A closer look shows
the bug is inside Data Detectors, a feature that lets apps recognize
dates, locations, and contact data, making it easy for you to save this
information in your address book and calendar."

Odd. Shame this aspect can't be sorted out once and for all. Is it used
more than http: ?
