Cool. Hopefully it’ll be in the next release, so keep adding bug reports. I didn’t want to write another regular expression to do something the class already does and get it wrong; if I do that, I might as well not even use NSDataDetector. In case you’re curious, Xcode, while debugging some runtime environments, will give you the info that’s really useful for such result objects.

In the case for RSS feeds, though, you shouldn’t have that issue unless you’re using it on content, but keep that in mind.

Note that my bug has already been duplicated, probably from my initial tech support incident, and this helps get it prioritized higher.
