Question: why do we have the separate forms [X] for
external links and
[[X]] for internal links? Unless we're going to add http:, ftp:, news:
or mailto: namespaces, I don't see much possibility of conflict.
There may be good historical reasons I am not aware of.
"Good" I don't know, but the historical reasons are these:
In the original UseMod, CamelCase was internal, and [] was external.
We wanted spaces, so someone came up wtih the idea of [[]].
