the links can sometimes be very helpful for readers.
Beyond what Ned said, (news markup is relatively new), people may be
uncertain what is allowed and when appropriate. Also, there is some
situation for me where markup seems to be a nuisance and looks like it
is introducing an error. So I have changed unicode quotes and removed
some rst markup. Also, for IDLE, news entries to idlelib/NEWS.txt.
where markup, as opposed to unicode, is noise.
Bottom line: I would rather a knowledgeable editor prettify the blurbs
in a consistent manner after I am done with them. To me, this is a
place where specializations pays.
