New description:

 Submitting a comment on a post allows for any sort of non-empty URL
 website address, including "asdf". Using the `is_url` function proposal in
 #12868 by [http://profiles.wordpress.org/technosailor technosailor] would
 help validating various URLs around the core, and adding a verification in
 `wp-comment-post.php` would disallow commenting with invalid URLs.

 Somewhat related: #10970, #18769.
