Decision: We need to figure out whether this allowing of square brackets in the website field should be supported or not. There are arguments on both sides: on the one hand, it's a handy way to let people supply text for the link, to avoid having huge long URLs spreading across the screen; but on the other, it means that every time we want to spit out the website datum (e.g. in RDF) we have to parse the field. There's also the issue that if people have used this feature a lot then they might be annoyed if we remove it.

Decided that Kake will post to the list summarising the problem and asking for opinions on whether we should support this "feature" or not.
