Roger,

Did you test the actual links?

I found one needing updating:

In src/java.base/share/classes/java/io/ObjectStreamClass.java, 
class.html#4100 should be updated to class.html#stream-unique-identifiers.

Also, the link in src/java.base/share/classes/java/lang/String.java 
looks suspect. The text refers to Section 6.2 Stream Elements, but to 
get there the link should go to protocol.html#stream-elements. Instead 
it points to output.html, which is Section 2, Object Output Classes. I 
can't really tell which is correct, but my guess is that the text is 
correct and the link is not.
