Mostly my view also, but look at it the other way: here is the operating 
system, and here are the documents, ...but not in a form that can be 
read with the operating system just installed.

For now, the hybrid approach of both URLs and text covers all users.  It 
just makes presenting a readable, compact introduction more difficult.
