     Yes a “:” does break a hashtag. There will be no “Home Sweet ::1“ tag then…

     @nds @jpope I beg to differ. why? here's #why: <- punctuation is punctuation and needs to stay that #way, otherwise we will have a mess.

     @nds @jpope I mean, #HomeSweet::1 is neat and punny, but for one use of a punctuation mark in a hashtag, there are dozens where it shouldn't

     Well, a punctuation char followed by <white-space> or <eol> is punctuation, otherwise it's something else (e.g. ellipsis ...)

     @zoowar ellipsis is punctuation;when trying to fit a msg into 140chars one might omit spaces;at least sometimes. not to mention #smileys:)

     OK, bad example. Here's another, the dot in example.com. And no, it's not an interpunct.

     @zoowar and that example shows the need to include punctuation in #hashtags - how exactly? because that wsa the topic... ;)
