1. The node should be named something like Go To Address or Address Hyperlinks.
 
2. The node should mention `goto-address-mode', and that should be
recommended, not `goto-address'. The good thing about g-a-mode is that
it gives you a way to turn off the hyperlinking. 
 
If you use `goto-address' instead, then you need to still toggle
`goto-address-mode' twice to turn it off. I don't think there is any
other way to do that.
 
3. The Commentary in the file should also recommend
`goto-address-mode', not `goto-address' even in mode hooks. Turn on
the mode, so you can easily turn it off.
