Hi!

If each terms after the url was optional i expect the specs was
something like:

[<whitespace>]<URL>[<whitespace>][<USER-FRIENDLY LINK NAME>]
That one makes the whitespace separator between <URL> and <USER-FRIENDLY> LINK NAME
optional, making it hard to parse.
This is what you were looking for:
=
[<whitespace>]<URL>[<whitespace>[<USER-FRIENDLY LINK NAME>]]
Yes i was wrong! Thank you for correcting what i wrote. :)
However, I think it's reasonable to assume the ending whitespace was
unintentional and ignore it.
Postel's law:
Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from
others
I was not able to remember the name of this law, thank you!
What disturbs me is that now my parser does not follow the grammar thespecs describe anymore; but this is just some personal thing that ihave to accept someway, i guess! :)
