Description
Adverted in the django docs is that a string http://www.example.com go's to <a href="http://www.example.com">www.example.com</a>
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#urlize
However this is not the case when you use teh model.URLField that requires http:// and ads a "/" to the end. Resulting in <a href="http://www.example.com">http://www.example.com/</a>
This is ugly and should be fixed!

urlize works exactly as advertised, and URLField does too.
Strictly speaking, www.example.com is not a URL, it is a domain, so it seems reasonable that URLField should either not accept it as a URL or convert it so that it is a URL. urlize is for marking up users' text in things like comments, whereas URLField is meant for storing URLs in the database, so it makes sense that it should be more fussy and only store actual URLs.
