I disagree.
Like many people, if I see what looks like a valid url, then that's what I
expect it to be, not some form of labelling. What is even worse, is when there
is a problem of some sort with a plugin, and host reports that the (apparent)
url doesn't exist!

Unless you know what this is you can waste a lot of time having been totally
misdirected. Speaking from experience :(

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
