Is this URL going to be valid for a long time. I would like to keep  
it for future use, but it does not look like a very "persistent" URL.  
Doing a search on the W3C does not obviously find this page and the  
page does seem to be very "tied in" to the site in a way that would  
make it easy to find later.

Is there a way that this page could be placed on the site in a more  
obvious and findable location?
