URL's in footnotes?

[Jorgen Schaefer]

Hi there!
While writing a longer text in Texinfo, i noticed one pretty
useful way to typeset URL's in a document for printing is to put
them in footnotes.  This way, they don't obstruct the normal flow
of reading, and still are where they should be (Except for short
URL's, they are not very useful in printed documents except when
you really want to look them up).

That's what i did:

@iftex
@macro footnotelink {text, url}
address@hidden@uref{\url\}}
@end macro
@end iftex

@ifnottex
@macro footnotelink {text, url}
@uref{\url\,\text\}
@end macro
@end ifnottex

But maybe something like that would be a nice addition to the
Texinfo core?

Just a thought,
