Thanks Frank, committed.

No, no need for URL: prefix. All urls m#(http|ftp|etc)://# are 
automatically converted into links. But it's good to have the main URL in 
the headers as your patch did.

As we seemed to agree at the advocacy list, we shouldn't not delete sites 
that are no longer there. Just indicate that the site used to be 
"openscape.org" but is no longer with us. remove the http:// part, justing 
leaving the domain name, so it won't get linked.

I thought we could outsmart the death, by doing:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://openscape.org/
but alas the domain squatter set the robots rule, so we can't even know 
whether there were some pages stored in the internet archives.

But we should definitely use http://archive.org/ in the future for those 
sites that have ceased to exist, instead of removing the link.
