That was not my implication at all; Yall are the sharpest bunch I know! I just happened to come across John’s post and still had this discussion on my mind.
(although… looking at posts #1 and #7 in this thread, EE does seem exclude the trailing paren from the URL… I’m assuming URL recognition happens prior to character filtering.)

So, any unresolved Tech Support business there? Are we OK to mark that one as “Resolved” for now?

No, no tech support issues here. (At this point, this is more of a feature request, but it seems to be something yall have considered / are considering already.)
