In 1.0 and 2.0 I assume the appropriate section is 4(d).  The change from
1.0 to 2.0 adds a requirement to specify a URL.

Is it your understanding that this was intended to be a requirement in
addition to the requirement to convey the name or pseudonym of the Original
Author, or that it can be done instead of conveying the name or pseudonym of
the Original Author?  The text of 2.0 makes it clear that both are required
by the actual language of the license, even adding the word "and" where it
did not exist in 1.0.  Was that a bug or a feature?
