I think keeping WEB would be effective as well.

I wrote a lot of that documentation, and I like WEB. One of the good
things it does is it helps long links, which normally would wrap (in
emacs etc) to the next line, to the be misinterpreted by ddoc.
At this point, we're heading into "we're wasting time on this" territory
and proceed straight to the well known pattern when every little
argument is fought for and against like someone's life depended on it.
Can we not do that for a change - do as you wish but please let others
be as well.
