1.  I think it would make sense to embed the url into the plain text content, because the url IS part of the plain text content.  If we were to open the html file in a plain text editor, the url is clearly visible.  This is actually a value added feature I would pay for in upgrades, because I have quite a few html files, and I didn't realize that their url contents have been unsearchable until now.  However, I understand that perhaps this could confuse some people.

2.  If it takes only a bit more effort to embed the url, then I would vote for that.  But if it's going to be very complex and error prone, then I would rather have the original proposed solution (index the url's only as metadata).

Thanks for your considerations on this issue.
