Fixed link. Very weird, the link was valid but changed what it pointed to, and it also pointed to a letter re: issues in the Siddur. Fortunately the exact date was recorded in the answer so I could find the new link.

Nov 7, 2013 at 17:52 comment added Fred Re. the link in your last paragraph, it says that the vast majority of opinions agree with the Rama that the two yuds may be erased for a purpose. The Rama is based on the T'rumas HaDeshen (P'sak 171), who was concerned that maybe, since the two yuds reference the shem havaya and begin with the same letter as does the shem havaya, we should be extra stringent. The T'rumas HaDeshen writes that, even though there's a good chance that the second yud that is not from the name makes it permissible to erase the two yuds, "if there's no great need, why should we permit erasing it?"
