Comment (by dd32):

 I think the only time this should/would be applied are cases where the
 string is an exact match, as that's far easier than translated strings
 where the changed URL could potentially mean a context change? I'm not
 sure, writing that makes me think I'm off-base and that I agree that a URL
 that was kept the same in the original translation can probably safely
 just be updated.

 For example, in psuedocode for item 1:
 {{{
 IF original is only a URL
   AND is now fuzzy
   AND Translation of old original was an exact match of original (ie.
 http://example.com is original and translation)
   OPTIONALLY AND the new original only varies by http => https
 THEN
  - Update translation to be exact match of new original
 }}}

 That's the simplest one, but also applying to longer strings such as
 `Example http://example.com Example` which is example 2 above is possible
 but also feels like it could be more fragile, and is more complex:
 {{{
 IF original contains a URL
   AND is now fuzzy
   AND original varies only by a changed URL
 THEN
  - Swap out changed URLs, leaving translated URLs alone
  - Create new translation with changed URLs
 }}}
 (Funny that, in psuedocode it seems easier!)
