Perhaps HN could either do this automatically for Quora links, or simply prohibit Quora links that don't already have this added?

Given that Quora is in YC[0], neither of those things are likely to happen.

So, the Scribd treatment, then? (Scribd links were encouraged despite constant complaints about the difficulty of use relative to PDFs.)

To be fair, when the Scribd links were first implemented, 1) in-browser PDF was much worse than it is now; and 2) Scribd's interface was better than it is now. Over time, browsers got better at showing PDFs, and Scribd got more cluttered and weird.

I recommend the "Quora Share" Firefox extension. It automatically adds share=1 to quora.com links:

That would be great, in my opinion. For now I use an extension (though a Greasemonkey script would suffice).
