be careful about saying it has no side-effects. with mozilla 1.2beta's
preloading of <link rel="next" /> pages, adding such links to the
documentation pages has a potentially enormous effect on bandwidth
utilization of the php.net site.

(that said, there are times when the links toolbar is very handy. i
certainly wouldn't complain if someone checked in code to the php.net
site to generate the links on documentation pages, with the assumption
that the mozilla folks will see the light and ultimately not enable the
preloading of 'next' links in a released version.)
