10 I think if you're having to specify another attribute in the wikipedia
11 tag then you're probably better off just sticking with <url> - a
12 separate tag would only be useful if it could generalise more than
13 just prepending http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ to the topic attribute.
14 If Wikipedia automatically redirected to the English version if a
15 translation wasn't available then it might be useful, but as far as I
16 can tell that's not the case.
