Different URL than URL bar #4

On http://www.washingtonpost.com/, the copied URL is slightly different (e.g. http://www.washingtonpost.com/2010/11/11/ABKA8vC_page.html). This might not be a bug, flagging it as it's a little unexpected.

Oh, just realised it is pulling the canonical URL, which seems like a good idea :)

Heh, admittedly, should the website owner put a canonical URL in place that is not a "good" one, then we'd have a problem. Luckily, not many websites are that evil.
