Tangent: can we get a web feature that allows site operators to publish
"redirect rules" so user agents update references to URLs that now HTTP
301? It makes me sad as an end user every time a domain redirects and my
awesomebar becomes less awesome because the presence of multiple domains
throws off the algorithm. And my bookmarks aren't current. And history
search yields unexpected results. And ... As a site operator, it makes me
sad that I have to keep old domains living forever. Sure, this is the point
of URLs. But sometimes I just want to pull the plug and not have to deal
with the domain registration, x509 certificates, rules in my HTTP server,
etc.
