Hi Jean-François,

> why is the use of a verb phrase ( "is not a verb phrase") forbidden ?
to give a bit more context with regards to your request. You are
talking about

======================
Both of these sentences divulge too much of the mechanics of getting
the Amaya software. If you want to call your reader to action, use
something like:
Get _Amaya_!
Note that "get" is left out of the hypertext; we do not recommend
putting verb phrases in link text. Thus, rather than:
_Tell me more_ about Amaya.
You should write:
Tell me more about _Amaya_: W3C's free editor/browser that lets
you create HTML, SVG, and MathML documents.
======================
I guess the rationale behind that is that the link as given in the
example, doesn't start the download but is the actual homepage of Amaya.
