Absolutely. Where we have abandoned short names, we should certainly turn those into redirects. We're currently proposing this as the (soon to be FPWD of) HTML-AAM supercedes the older, now to be abandoned document and shortname: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-admin/2015Mar/0065.html So, I suppose we should launch a crawler to help find these? That seems eminently achievable. Janina Shane McCarron writes: > Okay - but in this case could we just redirect that short name to 2.0? I > mean, seriously.
