Does it really matter where the links are listed - in the article or at the end?
Opera has a side panel, one of which is the Links panel. That pulls links out of the page and lists them alongside. But this alone isn't that much use. The browser however could do something more interesting with them.
I think a lot of pages seem dreadfully wasteful by placing in the same old accessory content on their pages. Buttonitis etc. I don't think this necessarily should live 'inside' the 'page' at all. The content should remain dumb. The inbound links, and chat around the content augments it. And this could be summised somehow by browser tools / other services.
I understand the author's want for embedding HN comments on a page. There's a simple and elegant solution to the problem. Simply open up another browser window/tab and point it to the relevant HN comment page. To do so, the author could include a simple link in the page, leave it to the browser to infer, or just let the user discover it for themselves (pointers do help though.)
Why the obsession of stuffing our pages with content?
It also feels a little snooty doing something like this (embedding HN comments on your page that is.)
