Thanks Frank, committed.

No, no need for URL: prefix. All urls m#(http|ftp|etc)://# are
automatically converted into links. But it's good to have the main URL in
the headers as your patch did.

As we seemed to agree at the advocacy list, we shouldn't not delete sites
that are no longer there. Just indicate that the site used to be
"openscape.org" but is no longer with us. remove the http:// part, justing
leaving the domain name, so it won't get linked.
I thought we could outsmart the death, by doing:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://openscape.org/
but alas the domain squatter set the robots rule, so we can't even know
whether there were some pages stored in the internet archives.
But we should definitely use http://archive.org/ in the future for those
sites that have ceased to exist, instead of removing the link.
