What’s the purpose of the `current` link? Is there ever a case where it would be bad to send the reader to the permanent location of the item?
Yes, for some definitions of "bad". First of all many sites want to direct a user to the main page, and then have them click through to the full article (more space to show ads, more hits).
Secondly, the permalink URLs don't necessarily exist (yet). The main URLs do.
