[R-pkg-devel] URL of a frame (or a vignette)?

[Jeff Newmiller]

I don't know if [1] implies vignette persistence after archiving, but it might. I think it just has to fall back to a warning with an archive link to qualify. (Quite a slick trick if so because there can potentially be a parade of different package vignettes over time.)
