IIRC, there shouldn't be a space next to '--' when writing something like:

	Here is a clause --a subclause-- another clause.

and if you combine this with a URI at the end of the --...-- thingy, you 
could theoretically get something that mistakenly swallows the '--'. 

OTOH, I think we all agree that this example is quite rare.
