Well [sic] would not produce anything special if there's no link  
reference called "sic" to create a link with. Copy this email on the  
[dingus] to see.

I'm not completely sure it's a so good idea either, but I previously  
expressed my opinions on the subject on this list and it didn't seem  
to dissuade John from doing it so now I expect to see that in a next  
release, whenever that happens.
