It is because (now don't laugh!) some people use Word to design their
web pages. Consequently, the link *has* to be live, otherwise it
wouldn't work. To show you how good Word web pages are, Macromedia
Dreamweaver contains a function which imports a Word web page, strips
all the junk out of it, and makes it into a proper web page ;-)
