//!
//! ```bnf
-//! autolink ::= '<' ( url | email ) '>'

+//! url ::= protocol *url_byte
+//! protocol ::= ascii_alphabetic 0*31(protocol_byte) ':'

//! ; Restriction: up to (including) 63 character are allowed in each domain.
-//! domain ::= ascii_alphanumeric *( ascii_alphanumeric | '-' ascii_alphanumeric )
-//! ascii_atext ::= ascii_alphanumeric | '#' .. '\'' | '*' | '+' | '-' | '/' | '=' | '?' | '^' .. '`' | '{' .. '~'

+//! ## Recommendation
+//!
+//! It is recommended to use labels ([label start link][label_start_link],
+//! [label end][label_end]), either with a resource or a definition
+//! ([definition][]), instead of autolinks, as those allow more characters in
+//! URLs, and allow relative URLs and `www.` URLs.
+//! They also allow for descriptive text to explain the URL in prose.
