I am of the opinion that we can have both. Jonathan's document can be a more elaborate version of the standard urls.txt included in all these documents. I can see several usecases- for example, in documents like remote-helpers.txt, including a full section from urls.txt would be a bit of an overkill; we could include a reference to this document instead. Is redundancy an issue? We'd have to update both urls.txt and this document everytime we change something.
