Why is google.com converted to t.co but google.nl not?

I am using the twitter-text-js code in my application to show a correct charcounter. During the testing of my implementation i came across some weird behavior. Simple urls (no protocol, no sub-domain) with a TLD of 3 or more characters are recognized as an url, but urls with an TLD of 2 characters are not recognized.

So google.com counts for 20 characters but google.nl only for 9. I see this is correct behavior in comparison with twitter.com but it is not logical.

I found that on github there are two issues filed a long time ago but never got a response from Twitter.

I've been testing a little by posting to twitter, and domains like neustar.us and cal.io and github.io are not auto linked....

I'm not sure that this is the right place to note this.
speedof.me did not get detected as a valid link on...
