Don is going to remind us (as well he should) that the URL is not used for
a live retrieval from that server.  So a redirect doesn't work.

So I think this is, technically, an incompatible change.  But I think it's
one we could live with.

The W3C Last Call Working Draft of XHTML-Print [1] changes the URL in the
DOCTYPE from
"http://www.xhtml-print.org/xhtml-print/xhtml-print10.dtd" to
"http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-print10.dtd".

This breaks compatibility with existing implementations. Can this situation
be handled by redirecting the xhtml-print.org url to the w3.org url?  If
so,
how is this done?
