I disagree about taking out links - most press releases are online now and can (i.e. most do) include inline links.
The online version can, but the one that is sent out to the press needs to be plain text. I expect this release will be posted to our blog as well, that version can include links (but it isn't in wikitext, so wikitext links aren't useful).
