You're speaking of a duality of links that you currently maintain 
outside of Connotea, right? Or are you accomplishing it in the library 
with tags or something?

The article-to-many-bookmarks thoughts have made me realize that there 
may be cases, such as yours here, where a user might *automatically* 
benefit from more than one URL being available to them. We could call it 
the "university user issue", where they would like one type or URI on 
campus and another related type off campus. Although this sounds like 
something we might do with plugin modules instead of the buggotea 
solution, because it depends on the given domain being linked.
