Why do you advise to use -U instead of -u? If not running ~x86 (and most users
shouldn't be) the only time that a package might be downgraded is if breakage
is discovered. Any particular reason why you would advise new users to keep
broken packages on their system?

advice might be to run 'emerge -up world >keep-the-output' before doing as the
author recommends. That way you have the best of both worlds..
Since the OP wants to use this for downloading files to be used later, it does not harm to get both the packages for stable and for unstable. I think this would work:
$ sort -muo outfile.txt `emerge -Ufp world` `emerge -ufp world`
Note that the "-fp" flags to emerge list the full URL to the package. I think this is a very nice option.
