But strikes me that the publish.sh process skips unchanged Org files, so
files with e.g. youtube: links will not be re-exported automatically
when the link definition changes. 

If so, it would require some additional step, whether adding detection
of those links to publish.sh (like we have for #+INCLUDE), or updating
timestamps with something like

  touch `git grep -l "https://www.youtube.com"`

after changing a link.

Still less burdensome than changing them manually and less risky than
sed-ing through everything.

Yours,
Christian
