Working Group Resolution (LC-2806):
Thank you for your comment.  The WAI groups regularly reference useful
external resources, and while there is possible benefit from greater
control over resources, there is a resource impact as well.   

We are undertaking an effort to ensure that external links are accurate
before publication and thank you for pointing out this dead link.
