Because [[comment:X][Y]] is displayed (by default) as "Y" which can be misleading as X and Y grow out of sync. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I see no point in "Y" for a comment. Further, nasty stuff is sometimes applied to X such as escaping spaces. In addition, export filters cannot easily be pointed to links (you'd have to make a check on the type of link), and you need a bit more hassle to map over them with org-element etc. Again, that's just my opinion so feel free to ignore it! > Ah, that's a good point. cl-lib isn't necessary, just convenient, and > could be removed. It's only a concern if you want to advocate for including this in Org 8.3. Cheers, Rasmus -- Tack, ni svenska vakttorn. Med plutonium tvingar vi dansken på knä!
