The trouble is that I have no way of knowing that your URL is a URL,
when it reaches TeX. And TeX, normally, does know how to
hyphenate/break-up a strange word like
"http://www.myverybigdomain.co.uk/sites/ftp.mydomain2.com/more/and/more".

Normal LaTeX users would wrap the creature in a special macro which
knows how to break up URLs (eg the url.sty package), but I cannot do
that because Jade gives me no clues that it *is* a url.

In the same way, section headings, if they are to appear in eg a
PDF bookmark, have to use a Jade extension to pass clues to
jadetex. Links could do something similar.

I am sorry, but I don't see a simple solution. You need to load some
hyphenation patterns that would let TeX deal with the weird word, or
identify it as a url to jadetex
