is ascii link format canonical? can it be made more linkifiable?

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

recent maint.

org-ascii-links-to-notes is t.

i am exporting bare links that look in the source like

  http://whatever.com

1] seemingly, notes are not created.  actually i don't mind this,
because i don't want notes in this case.

2] the links get exported like

  [http://whatever.com]

i get the same result if i export source that looks like

  <http://whatever.com>

or

  [[http://whatever.com]]

i do not know the standard, but i think that some email clients will
not linkify this because of the brackets.  are we sure that [] are
canonical?  not <>?  is it the clients that are wrong?

can this be customized so that the link can be exported totally bare
without any bracket-like characters for maximum client linkification?

obviously whitespace might be needed near punctuation.

thanks.
