And in practice, those message-ID's are worthless. Nobody is going to take the time to look them up. If you want real permanence and ease of access, JUST QUOTE THE THING YOU POINTED TO. And if it's not important enough to quote, make it at least be useful, obvious, and simple: make it a real web link. Don't do the idiotic useless message-ID thing. Pick one of the two options above, not the crazy good-for-nothing one.
