# for shoutcuts to SI, @ for shortcuts to iHub. There has to be some way to distinguish which site the parsing logic is supposed to expand the URL to.

As to why [ ] vs. <>, only Bob's hairdresser knows for sure. I'm guessing that it's because SI was originally developed using <> and iHub's original developers used [ ].
