If the links are scattered throughout the page, then saving the
information back into the page text could be a little tricky. Removing
links is easy enough, and new ones can just go to the bottom, but what
about changing existing ones? Should they get moved to the bottom or
changed where they are? If people are putting them in strange places,
they're probably doing so for a reason, so the latter would be better,
but then you have to decide what counts as a change and what counts as
removing a link and adding a new one.
