True enough. As Eli says, I hope to make url's breakable in TeX at some point. Unfortunately the url.sty and hyperref packages aren't usable as is, because Texinfo has to parse the arguments differently. \text\@footnote{@uref{\url\} (\text\)}@c I appreciate that this can help with the line breaking. But in my opinion, having lots of footnotes with url's is distracting to the reader (having just reviewed several papers written in that style), so I don't especially want to add this to the base Texinfo.
