Most people probably aren't used to seeing links written as
<http://www.lego.com/ The Official LEGO Website>
so some slight bit of education might be appropriate...but on the other hand
I tend to think that most people also won't give it a second thought (if they
even notice in the first place), since the human-readable text portion often
readily stands out as such, especially with automatic link display in a good
modern newsreader.
How many people noticed my sneaking FTX into this old post back in 1999?--
http://news.lugnet.com/general/?n=9741
I think it's readily obvious even in the raw version
http://news.lugnet.com/news/raw.cgi?lugnet.general,9741
that the label text (or comment about the URL) is separate from the URL.
