Why does the same URL need to appear twice? And if this is necessary,
why does 'make validate' not report the error?

The way this ends up formatted in the HTML is:

References
CVE Name  CVE-2012-1667
URL       http://www.isc.org/software/bind/advisories/cve-2012-1667

That makes it look like the ISC site is the canonical URL for the CVE,
but obviously it's not. The "CVE-2012-1667" on the page does render as a
URL, but in my browser at least it's not got the usual decoration to
indicate that it is actually a URL, even though it works. OTOH, the
[source] link to the "ISC Reports" section looks and works as I would
expect.

Even with the few of these that I've done it's still more than most of
our committers, and I'm still confused by this. If we want to get better
participation from a wider variety of our committers it needs to be
simpler.
