Lately I've seen URLs marked in this way on USENET articles:
<ULink URL= "http://www.mico.org/">MICO - a GNU ORB</ULink> - being
used by the KDE desktop project
Does anyone know if this is some sort of new standard? Or if someone
is trying to introduce a new convention? Or maybe someone has been
cutting and pasting from an SGML or XML document of some sort?
The "culprit" in this case, was
X-Newsreader: slrn (0.9.5.1 Windows)

That's the URL linking element used in the DocBook DTD; see

OK. So it's probably just the result of cut'n paste from some SGML
source? The source for a linux HOWTO maybe? Hm... no... they use a
DTD called linuxdoc, it looks like...
Oh well!

I believe that many (most, all, some?) linux documentation is being
migrated from linuxdoc to DocBook. See also http://www.sgmltools.org/

Latest Linux journal had an article of SGMLtools 2, where is was specifically
stated that the Linux specific DTD will be abandoned as soon as SGMLTools 2
appears. Instead the DocBook DTD is now the only DTD they continue to use.
The transition phase from Linux DTD to DocBook (support for old DTD) is
6 months after SGMLTools 2 has been puslished.
