I actually like the term "web pointers" on the page over the traditional [hyper]links, as it's more accurate to what happens in reality: The reference is one-way, without feedback on if what is being referenced changes or disappears entirely.

Case in point, I wanted to check out the "escher in reality" 3D models and got a 404.

It would be fun (but also highly impractical to implement) if the web were garbage collected, with all open windows and bookmarked URLs as root pointers.
