From a new scholarly book (2011) from Cambridge University Press, at
the foot of the copyright page:

"Cambridge University Press has no responsibility for the persistence
or accuracy of URLs for external or third-party internet websites
referred to in this publication, and does not guarantee that any
content on such websites is, or will remain, accurate or appropriate."

(1) Do they imply they *do* guarantee persistence and accuracy of
their own websites that may be referenced?

(2) Does this not belabor the obvious?  Where in the Press hierarchy
did this idea come from and to whom did it seem a good idea?
