They are actively harmful - much more so than any http: > links - and shouldn't be there. *Sigh*. I guess I'll just do that. One argument to mark old/invalid links differently somehow is that the wayback machine at archive.org may still have them. But when the domain has been transferred to a 3rd party, it is possibly harmful. Another option might be to grab any archive.org content and put it into a Documentation/archived/outdated directory or the like. For instance: https://web.archive.org/web/20090423133742/http://www.handhelds.org/projects/h1940.html Then gain, this might as well be prehistoric content.
