Style Error: Turabian - delimiter between URL and access date
Using the Turabian Style (Full Note with Bibliography) style, a comma or period is placed between the URL and access date statement, e.g.:
N: [...] http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7081038.stm ,(accessed November 6, 2007).
B: [...] http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7081038.stm .(accessed November 6, 2007).
According to my copy of Turabian 7, the URL should be followed immediately by the access date in parentheses with no other intervening punctuation, e.g.:
N: [...] http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7081038.stm(accessed November 6, 2007).
B: [...] http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7081038.stm(accessed November 6, 2007).
The problem appears to occur because within the access and access-note macros, everything is contained within a
that specifies a comma or period delimiter:
Perhaps the solution is to define another group with no delimiter just after
that includes all the URL and access date elements.

(if you're interested, I enclosed the entire section that prints URL and accessed date in a group - that way the delimiter of the group one level above doesn't get inserted between the different elements, i.e
in both access macros.
