  Looking at the Utrecht faq archive I see various formats:

  -- Tens of faqs have multiple url lines
  -- Only the 'palmtops/' tree has Url-lines with comma separated lists

  Url-lines (928 of them) come in various flavours:

    Url: http://blib.blob/blab.html
    Url: <http://blib.blob/blab.html>
    Url: <http://blib.blob/blab.html >
    Url: <URL:http://blib.blob/blab.html>

  My proposal (for html'ed archives) was to translate

    Url: http://blib.blob/blab.html
    Url: http://blib.blob/blab.html home of the blab faq

  to

    Url: <A HREF="http://blib.blob/blab.html">http://blib.blob/blab.html>
    Url: <A HREF="http://blib.blob/blab.html">home of the blab faq</A>

  The issue was not resolved because more grandiose scheme's
  were proposed. Shouldn't we reconsider the issue ?

  Just pick one or two idea's and put them in the guidelines.
  Faq authors would have something to guide them, then.
  Isn't that the purpose of 'guidelines' ?
