I can see your point.  However, in Spring Live - whenever I've  
mentioned a class name, I've linked to it's javadoc - making it easy  
for readers to look up and see more information about a class.  I did  
this on a couple while writing and the tech editors and readers liked  
it so much, I did it for all of them.  I'd hate to have to go back  
through and change all these links to point to a specific product and  
version number.
