- The Permalink control now allows you to copy a working URL for the post through the usual browser affordance (right-click + "copy URL" on desktop browsers, long-press on touch interfaces). Oddly, it's not the same URL you get if you actually click the control, but at least you can get *a* working link that way. (This was not always the case. I don't know whether it behaved this way back when you asked this question.)
- I agree that some visible response to clicking it would be good, since all the other things below a post are *actions* and not naked links. But I wanted to at least document what currently works.

- **Update:** "Permalink" has been changed to "copy link", and clicking it copies the link to your clipboard.
