Yes, this is a good idea. There are also cases where you want \:
*before* a period, e.g., http://www.somethingVeryLong\:.org/etc,
since it's usually better to have the period start the next line
in order to emphasize that it's a continuation of the URL rather
than the end of a sentence. This might be considered a case of
choosing the least ugly solution.
