The first idea is a possibility, except that there is no particular guarantee the title tag will be sane, or that you will be able to retrieve the page at the time.
Yes - some pages have fairly useless title tags. Plus, I think we want to try and make sure the link text is fairly short.
I've just realised that using the domain name is possibly not the best idea either, since some domain names are rather long, so we'd not actually be solving the problem of URLs stretching across the page.
just display it as
<a href="http://www.example.org/">Website</a>
I thought of that, but decided it might look a bit wrong in the middle of a list of key: value pairs to suddenly have something that's just a key:
* Address: Station Approach (map) (gmap) (multimap) * Postcode: HP6 5DW * Website * Categories: Free Geodata, Metropolitan Line, Rail, Tube, Zone D Stations * Locales: Amersham, HP6
