Re: discrepancy re. github policy for CGs

There are hacks that allows to do client-side redirects from 
w3c.github.io - e.g. 
https://github.com/w3c/w3c.github.io/blob/main/DOM-Level-3-Events-code/index.html

If that's not sufficient or acceptable, maybe we could give an exception 
to allow continued usage of the w3c org since the policy didn't really 
discuss or consider that situation?

So this would break any link / bookmarks that people may have on the pages the CG has published in the past. Which is really not in line with W3C policy about persistent URIs...
