The whole naming convention there is weird : enter anything
from 

	http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/
	http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Overview
	http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Overview.htm
	http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Ovwerview.html

and you still end up at 

	http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Overview.htm8

???

Intriguingly, the textual link from

	http://www.w3.org/Graphics/

/omits/ the trailing slash in

	http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG

which I though was Strongly Discouraged...
