I'm not sure I agree with being too clever about Bayes.  Surely by its
very nature, the Bayes algorithm will itself indicate which tokens
are relevant and which are not?  Isn't that the whole point of Bayes?

I think being to clever about massaging the data that gets fed to
Bayes may be counter-productive.  For sure, *some* massaging is in order;
a token should be a semantic unit, so something like "www.example.com"
should probably be one token rather than three, but beyond that I wonder
if it's good or not to massage the data?

Regards,

David.
