Incorrect parsing of readme files for plugins on wordpress.org

Description

When wordpress.org parses plugin readme files, it changes URLs in the form www.site.com to links, and adds ​http:// to the text displayed.

That's good and proper. However, it's not helpful when this happens in a code block.

For example, see the first and third code block of this readme - ​http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sitepush/installation/

The readme validator shows the same behaviour.

The parser should not do any URL parsing in code blocks.

On a side note: Always use example.com, .org or .net for sample domains. They exist for exactly this reason.

Replying to toscho:

Thanks for that. For anyone interested, here's the ​relevant RFC.

I have updated my plugin so the readme avoids this behaviour. For reference, the attached file shows the same behaviour in the ​WordPress readme validator.
