Consider the number of people printing Wikipedia articles from "less comforming browsers" vs. the number of people actually viewing Wikipedia articles online. Is this the correct assumption to make? Why do we have to endure such frivolities as painting the current URL boldly across the page, especially when this is almost always in the print header to begin with?
Having the URL on the screen doesn't do any harm. Having the URL be missing from the printed page does more harm.
