Has there been any discussion about the idea of having the documentation link to web.archive.org or webcitation.org for these broken entities? What about the idea of establishing new webcitation.org links for any new entites generated? It's a mixed bag, I know - you gain the fact that links will continue to work after the hosts have gone away, but you're no longer pointing directly to a regularly updated source...
