The key is that it's the incoming, not the outgoing link that's bad. Since you know what valid url tokens are, you can pretty easily strip bogus characters off of them.

Should bloat.me be in the business of correcting slightly invalid urls? It might be something that we could do to make the user experience better, but I was wondering if in your experience you think it is something that can be done accurately.

Yah, you have to watch that punctuation.

so actually the url that was getting passed to bloat was "http://bloat.me/J2WI,"; which created a token of "J2WI," instead of "J2WI"
