How about turning over to a simple generic approach, as in
L<http://www.url1.com>
and/or
L<Some descriptive text><http://www.url2.com>
and having "I" for informational links that follow the same style
but do not provide hyperlinks and "D" for dead links?
I'll append a small script i have written the last few hours (i've
driven car a dozen hours in the last 36 thereof, so please be
patient and take it as a first draft only; it seems to work fine,
however). That thing may be used in two different ways:
htwork.pl html [<] DATA_FILE | lynx -stdin
htwork.pl check [<] DATA_FILE > NEW_DATA_FILE
The first mode will produce a valid HTML file, expanding all L<>
links along the way (ditto the others, but differently, text-only).
The second will check the L<> URLs, and replace them with D<> URLs
if curl(1) cannot access the file (i think using curl(1) should be
fine as git(1) seems to be the new direction of the tz database).
That could be used pre-release to update the data-content
automatically, or to adjust the links manually. (Say.)
Both modes can also work with STDIN.
I've also converted "southamerica" to this new syntax, and append
it here. Note that there would be many D<> links, if they would
be checked.
I don't know emacs(1) (i need some memory for other tasks :) nor
Lisp, but i could surely write a perl(1) script that converts
UTF-8 mail text into HTML (numeric) entities.
Like that we could end up with a good solution that would satisfy
all parties; plain ASCII text, even in the comment part, that
would be more readable and more unique than today.
And, if transformed via 'htwork.pl html', valid, browsable UTF-8
HTML data with unmodified names of people and earth locations.
If that would be an acceptable approach then i would volunteer to
convert the other links in the database files to this new syntax.
(I need two more weeks to release the next version of my mailer,
which i'm looking forward to a lot, but afterwards i would go for
it.)
Thanks and ciao,
