re: #65 dog philosopher

“a href” strikes me as pretty poor API design anyway - the abbreviations are nerdacious and out of date

a == “anchor”

href == “hypertext reference”

and don’t conform to the principle of self documenting code

i think better choices, that would conform to the current familiar nomenclature, would be ‘link’ and ‘url’

I don’t think self-documenting code was as much a concern back when HTML was first drafted.
