Right? To rephrase my answer: While Docutils already supports isbn URLs in the rst source (e.g. `The Four Loves <urn:isbn:0156329301>`__), this will most likely not work with current browsers which lack support for RFC 2187 and just return an error when told to go to "urn:isbn:0156329301". Taking in account the current state of browser (non)support, I can imagine a transform mapping ISBN URLs to a configurable HTML URL like :: 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:BookSources?isbn=%s' % isbn_no Patches welcome.
