We explained what `URL' meant once in one area, but we can't expect users to read that, especially with context-sensitive help. If we have to use the term `URL' (and I don't see why we do?), why don't we make it a helpful link to the `URL' entry in the Glossary (which would need to be added)?
When we do this, we can get rid of the many inconsistencies we have in mentioning URLs. Sometimes we say `URL (web address)', sometimes `URL (address)', and sometimes even `address (URL)'. I still am curious as to why we ever have to say `URL' at all, though.
Dumping all these on jatin, their rightful owner. Weeeeee!!
