Bonus question: Would it be useful to have distinct punctuation marks used only for URLs?

I expect I'd've clicked the 2nd & 6th options if I weren't so pedantic...

It's "period" at the end of a sentence. I'd also use "period" with lists ("1. First item in my list" = "one period First..."), the localpart of an email address ("arthur period prokosch at pobox dot com").

It's "dot" in the middle of a URL, domain/hostname, or IP address. It's also "dot" when I spell an ellipsis ("from here ... to there" = "from here, dot dot dot, to there")

It's "point" for numbers ("4.23%" = "four point two three percent")

It's never "full stop" in my idiolect.
