I'm not sure I understand your first statement. Everything else you say
makes sense. I'm just not making the last simple leap into
enlightenment here. I guess I don't understand in what sense you mean
"don't work". Sure your example Source: <URL> was ugly but is that the
extent of the complaint or is there something further?

Some simple testing shows that this is true whether or not macros are
used in the Source: line. So your point is that using a URL in a Source
line is purely for the benefit of the QA'er/packager anyhow?
