Where do you see the benefit? Maybe I'm missing something, but the
/destination/ page of the jump url has a garden-variety mailto link on
it and there's nothing to stop a spam harverster from following the
initial link to get to it.

The strategies listed (robots.txt etc) listed at the end of the linked
page are not going to be particularly effective without a /lot/ of
additional work (i.e. identifying and blocking robots and ip ranges
not published on the robotstxt website)...
