I'm not really clear on what a link is. You
specify it as a URL, but a
URL alone does not constitute a link. A link is the rendering of this

<a

But the proposed attribution guideline says absolutely nothing about
what the link label should be, and only specifies the href component
of the link.
This definition would exclude any offline "linking"...
Rigid definitions of link texts might lead to confusion in case of a
non-English version of this attribution requirement. (Should the link text
be always in English; if the translation has a typoor worse a translation
error in it, should it be rigidly followed by reusers for whom the link text
would have no real meaning).
