My suggestion would be

<http://www.hpi.de/>

^  Separators ifNil: [Separators := self allCharacters select: [:ea | ea isSeparator]]

Then we won't need to duplicate the logic.

Best,
Christoph

It is! but do we really need a collect for this static list?
We could put that code in a comment and just return the resulting string…

This leads to problems with text editing Morphs. As start of header is not printed at all (not even as white space) I would rather classify it as a separator and add it to the list in Character class>>#separators and to Character>>#isSeparator. The advantage of this approach is that we would not need any special case in the text editing morphs. The disadvantage is that the list of separators will be less obvious to understand.
