urlizetrunc changes existing link

[dexity]

urlizetrunc in 1.7x is used to not modify existing link. E.g. 'foo<a href=" google.com ">bar</a>buz' remains unchanged. In 1.8x it changes to something like: 'foo&lt;a href=&quot; <a href="http://google.com" rel="nofollow">google.com</a> &quot;&gt;bar&lt;/a&gt;buz' (​https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/tests/template_tests/filter_tests/test_urlizetrunc.py)

Could you fix so that it doesn't change the existing links?

I think the problem is with simple_url_2_re in Django 1.8.

re.compile(r'^www\.|^(?!http)\w[^@]+\.(com|edu|gov|int|mil|net|org)($|/.*)$', re.IGNORECASE)

In Django 1.7 it was

re.compile(r'^www\.|^(?!http)\w[^@]+\.(com|edu|gov|int|mil|net|org)$', re.IGNORECASE)

I mock patched simple_url_2_re from Django 1.7 and it works as expected (existing link doesn't change).

Sorry for the regression, but ​the documentation says, "As with urlize, this filter should only be applied to plain text."
