I agree with the approach, and with the usage. One question: for Very
Long URLs, should the actual URL appear somewhere like a <footnote>?
Normally we use the URL as the content body as well as the "url"
parameter for <ulink>.

I like the idea that people will be able to read the document online and
immediately register problems if they have any. Customer service at its
finest!
