With all due respect to Guy, I have to take sides with Mikkel here. 

Newsgroup and mailinglist postings are primarily "push" media, while web
is a "pull" media. It seems strange to push new version number but fail
to include enough information so that a reader can quickly find out
whether he needs or wants to visit the URL. 

On a side note, I've been thinking the pl stood for Perl or Prolog until
now, and have thus faintfully ignored the posts, but now knowing its a
database thing, I've gotten curious. :-)
