 The wp_extract_urls function does not match URLs with localhost as the
 domain:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 // Matches.
 wp_extract_urls("<a href=\"http://localhost.com:8889/?p=9\">hi</a>");

 // Doesn't match.
 wp_extract_urls("<a href=\"http://localhost:8889/?p=9\">hi</a>");
 }}}

 I think this function should definitely match localhost because this is
 often used in testing environments. But if this is intended behaviour,
 then the documentation makes no mention that this function only matches a
 subset of allowed URLs.
