Here's a real example to illustrate my question better:

BE17-672C7858E854.html

or

<http://www.roughlydrafted.com/RD/RDM.Tech.Q2.07/2152AFA3-DE5C-4A92- 
BE17-672C7858E854.html>

Which one works?

And if either were wrapped:

BE17-672C7858
E854.html

or

BE17-672C785

(Incidentally, this is an article from Roughly Drafted entitled,  
'Microsoft Surface: the Fine Clothes of a Naked Empire')
