There is also the issue of the "bogus link" having the mouse cursor of
a "hand" (or whatever it is in various OSes) since the browser
understands that text as a link.

This also goes on to confuse the newbies on the Net who associate "the
link cursor" with a "clickable thingy that takes me somewhere" :)

Just a warning to be careful... :)
