Title: Use angle brackets for URL in README

TextWrangler 3.1 (for Mac OS X) gets confused by a URL in parentheses -- on
Command-click, it will construe the parentheses (and following dot) as part
of the URL, and (with Firefox at least) no browser window opens.

Also, angle brackets appear to be the recommended means of delimiting URLs,
whereas parentheses aren't suggested at all.

URIs are often transmitted through formats that do not provide a
clear context for their interpretation. For example, there are many
occasions when a URI is included in plain text; examples include text
sent in email, USENET news, and on printed paper. In such cases, it
is important to be able to delimit the URI from the rest of the text,
and in particular from punctuation marks that might be mistaken for
part of the URI.

In practice, URIs are delimited in a variety of ways, but usually
within double-quotes "http://example.com/", angle brackets
, or just by using whitespace:

http://example.com/

Using <> angle brackets around each URI is especially recommended as
a delimiting style for a reference that contains embedded whitespace.
