OK, that makes sense. I thought you were getting rid of explicit in-line links
without devising a replacement. Your syntax does make a lot more sense than
the (now depreciated) XxWikipedia syntax.
As I said before I really only care about results, not the details needed to
attain those results (I do often provide suggested ways to attain those
results but that is just to move things along by at least sparking debate).
