IIRC, that's basically what the "workaround" is, except it's not very
automated. Even if it were automated, though, there's still a problem:
such links aren't really *useful* in flat text format. I think that
forcing the author to actually think about what to put there in the
flat text version is a good thing, if we're going to retain the flat
text version at all.
