But the point's well taken that in /printed output/, that's of no use.
Which is, in a sense, an inconsistency: in one format, you can follow the
links, while in another, you're out of luck.

Maybe a simpler transform for printed output, rather than collecting
all URLs into one section at the back, would just be to follow any
<ulink> that has link text with a <footnote> containing the same ulink
without the link text, so it shows the URL, and that would be right at
the bottom of the same 'page'.
Of course, the text would also be clickable, right?  I think putting the
URL in a footnote is good in that case; it works both on screen and on
paper, which should alleviate JD's concerns.

Yeah I could see that. I thought about that but was wondering if it was possible to auto cite?

I wouldn't think it important to apply the same treatment when making HTML.
Right, only PDF.
