Oh, wait... maybe this is the "Link texts that are URLs do not respect
the link target" issue.  I had to read it a few times to fully digest
it.  

I think it would be easier for folks if we put all the link-related
issues together on the content_preparations page.  And maybe change the
section on link texts that are URLs to something like

  Link texts that are URLs do not respect the link target
  
  The migration process does not alter link text, but should remap link
  targets to their new locations. However, in XWiki, link text which is
  a fully qualified URL is used as the link target, overriding the link
  target in the original document.  This means that if your link text is
  a site URL (i.e., under http://opensolaris.org/os/), the text and link
  will both be broken after migration.
  
  As a workaround, simply change the link text not to be a URL.  For
  example, if you have in TML
  
  [http://opensolaris.org/os/project/foo](http://opensolaris.org/os/project/foo)
  
  change it to [project foo](/os/project/foo)
  
  If you have in HTML
  
  <a
  
href="http://opensolaris.org/os/communtiy/bar";>http://opensolaris.org/os/communtiy/bar</a>

  change it to <a href="/os/communtiy/bar">bar community</a>.

cheers,
mike
