That might, only, indicate that I was just thinking aloud in email and
had not gone and checked in PDF output to see how the links were handled.

Yes, it could very possibly indicate that.

If they are already processed that way, does that mean the

o  Do not use text with <ulink> so the URL appears in printed output

in README.links should be considered obsolete, and removed even, and
doc authors should feel free to put link text in <ulink> without
hesitation?
