Talk.Italics And Url Ambiguity

I think a better case of ambiguity is:

How about //a link, like http://example.org, in italic text? //

--

I think it gets more complex when the protocol isn't recognised by the wiki parser. If a wiki that limits the procotols for raw links, to say just (http, ftp). What should a parser do with https://www.example.org ?

I think it should render it as seen ( http://www.example.org ) and not treat the as italics.
