[ZWeb] FYI: Next step on news

[Paul Everitt]

Hmm, this format yields something not quite like the original.  
Basically, it make sit look like footnotes, which makes sense for a 
footnote. :^)  However, people might want the original to have the 
hyperlinks as part of the text being hyperlinked, rather jumping down 
to a named link to then jump to the target.

Also, the format you showed doesn't turn the URL in the citation into a 
hyperlink for the rendered version.  You would have to cut-and-paste it 
into the browser.

If I'm incorrect on this, could you point me at a URL that shows the 
right behavior in action?
