Maybe!  I'm not sure that a person could reasonably make the claim
that posting the article on one page, and the invariant section on a
separate page could meet the requirements of the license.

otherwise, I suppose.  It would seem kind of silly to me, but
basically I have no intention of being inflexible if it comes down to
that.
