I agree with most this... but have somewhat of a counter point to "you can't copy a page title". You (often) can copy a page title into a client (Google) and expect it to find the right resource. This is usually done with articles, etc. Even your comment provides a perfect example - you didn't link to RFC 1736, but the text "Locators are human transcribable" is unique enough that the first Google result is correct. So you didn't have to provide a URL to lead someone to this page, just 'enough' unique text for it to be findable. Which is kind of amazing - and maybe not what the original RFC intended.

counterpoint: https://i.imgur.com/ORLixJa.png https://i.imgur.com/ORLixJa.png none of the result here are pointer to the source I've used sure the content is the same, but the resource isn't, if anything this demonstrates how easy is to misled a user, directing him on a different resource thinking it's the same. compare with stack overflow result: https://i.imgur.com/maJi47G.png https://i.imgur.com/maJi47G.png luckily prominent sites get pushed on top of the result queue (had to cut it because it was submersed by advertisement) but the attack vector is evident.
