If doing this way as an inline, though, I think we're back to it
making more sense on the server side...
We render notices from plain text to HTML at save time. We have one (1)
copy of each notice in HTML format.
/If/ we were to render URLs differently for each user based on how
uptight they are about other people using URL-shortener tools, we would
either have to store duplicates of each notice (one for each subscriber,
plus one for anonymous and remote users), OR regenerate the HTML at
view-time (an expensive process).
<a title="longurl" href="shorturl">shorturl</a> should be sufficient for
most uses.
If there are client platforms that won't show that correctly, /tant pis./
