Whereas “contemporary” means “as of 2001“, and:

| concept: […]

It is a matter of opinion if you want to use the more general, standardized 
(RFC 3986), formal term, or the more specific, informal concept.  It is 
_not_ a matter of opinion if, out of ignorance, you confuse a concept 
([hyper]link) with the means by which it can be realized (URI/URL) in 
specific media (Web).

A NetNews posting is *plain text*; it cannot contain hyperlinks, but it can 
contain URIs/URLs.  It is only the viewing software that might create a link 
from a URI/URL, or it might not.  Ignoring that difference is ignoring that 
Web archives/interfaces like Google Groups do not represent the original, 
intended way of using NetNews, and therefore fall short of making full use 
of its features (bugs in GG aside).
