how about "somewebsite .com". Still completely human readable, but skips past spam filters. A win for everybody?

Actually if we are going to munge, I prefer something really visible. Munging with a space will work, but it might be missed during a copy and paste, for example.

By the way, I believe it's only necessary to munge things that would likely be interpreted as a URI such as www.somedomain.com, http://host.somedomain.com, http://somedomain.com, etc.

Most mail URI parsers probably aren't interpreting raw domains as URIs. Therefore it's probably not necessary to munge plain somedomain.com . That said, behavior of URI parsers may vary.
