I don't think the publisher's web site is particularly relevant. You might as
well link to the authors' home pages as well. And then we start attaching
links to everything all over the documentation. In an XLink world, this
might make sense, but not right now, I think.
The other links lead to the actual document, which is relevant.
If there were a functional URN namespace for ISBNs then I would support
linking the ISBNs to that.
