I don't think hyphenating a URL is a good idea, since the dash character is legal in a URL (so is that a hyphen, or a dash, asks the reader).
Paul, I agree totally. But, I don't what the URL hanging out in the right margin, either.

Cool! I never looked for documentation within it.
In particular, look for the description of \UrlBreaks and \UrlBigBreaks, which control where long URLs are broken.
Thanks. That will be very helpful. What I ended up doing -- as I've done in the past with overfull hboxes that cannot easily be divided, was to re-write the sentences with the offending URLs and TeX took care of hyphenating them in appropriate places. :-) That's why it's called "creative writing," I suppose.
