I agree. Keeping things simple is very important.
Any change should be an extention of the current scheme.
At this moment, some 10% of the faqs have an Url:-line,
so acceptance of these features is low.
I support the suggestion of Lennart Regebro that Url:-lines
could look like
Url: some-url augmenting-text
