Description
Not sure I see a universal use of this in print.css:
/* CSS2 selector to add visible href after links */
#content a:link:after,
#content a:visited:after {
content: " (" attr(href) ") ";
font-size: 0.8em;
font-weight: normal;
}Filing as a bug because base themes ought to conform to industry best practices, but this is more of a personal preference. In my case, it hurt legibility of my prints.
#1
"industry best practices"? The printed URLs are meant to help usability of prints. Surely we can improve both usability and legibility at the same time.
#2
This clutters up prints. Decluttering is an important part of usability.
Consider this: if someone prints a page, they generally divorce that content from further electronic use. Some sites even make URLs undetectable in print--try printing a Wikipedia page.
I vote for decluttered by default.
EDIT: By the way, this is so unusual that it took me a long time in with Firebug and Google to figure out what was going on. I say this as an industry veteran specializing in web technology.

I personally think it's a wonderful feature. If you don't, however, you should be able to easily remove them by just adding a new print stylesheet which overrides print.css.
#content a:link:after, #content a:visited:after {content: "";
}
Add it to your theme's .info file the same way print.css is added (but after it), and away you go. (Haven't actually tested that, but it ought to work.)
