I also like this!

The URL <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=######>
always works in my experience (for non-restricted bugs of course). If
the writer uses too long a URL, the editor can fix it without a problem.

Or for that matter, I suppose we could have a common entity:

<!ENTITY SYSTEM BZ-Q
"http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=">

And in the writer's doc:

<!ENTITY SYSTEM BUG-URL "&BZ-Q;######">

But maybe that's just too much work? Not sure.
