This makes a lot of sense and aligns well with the argument Jeni and I are
trying to tease out of the draft document we are putting together on this
topic: http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/publishingAndLinkingOnTheWeb.html

In essence, it we would like to make the assertion that linking is a form of
speech, and so should be protected in the same way that speech is protected.

Thoughts?
