Comment 1 Sean Flanigan 2014-07-28 01:45:18 UTC 
The fact that we even get a plain-text version of the HTML is a bit of a bonus.  It used to be missing entirely.  

I wouldn't like to see the HTML changed just to make the text version a bit cleaner.  I expect few people will even see the text version unless they seek it out.

But it would be nice to enhance the third-party HTML renderer (Jericho HTML Parser's Renderer) so that any URL where the link text is the same as the URL would be rendered with the URL just once.
