They convey information which usually doesn't matter when you have a
book in your hands. For instance in the Autoconf documentation:
| See the @href{http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/autoconf.html,
| Autoconf web page} for up to date information, details on the mailing
| lists, pointers to a list of known bugs, etc.
|
| Mail suggestions to @email{autoconf@@gnu.org, the Autoconf mailing
| list}.
In the printed copy, I want to read
| See the Autoconf web page for up to date information, details on the mailing
| lists, pointers to a list of known bugs, etc.
|
| Mail suggestions to the Autoconf mailing list.
and have a pointer to the URL (the footnote is just fine: it doesn't
break the flow). Printing the URL right there breaks the sentence
with an ugly and long @code stuff. And frankly, until I read DVI with
an eBook, having the URL right next to it is of no use :)
