Probably the only real test would be to have a page in which those words don't appear in the HTML at all. Maybe I'll try that later.

Looks like the answer is that periods are word separators, and only having keywords in the URL is pretty low-powered: I almost missed seeing you, back on page two, but a "quoted search" brings you up to page one, below the fold.

But, good news about the period separator, since I use it

Hmm. I wouldn't expect text in link URLs to be treated differently than page URLs (in fact, without thinking about it I wouldn't have even guessed that text in link URLs would count at all), but maybe. This should be an interesting first experiment, either way.
