Jim:

I could easily put redirect code at that URL:

<html>
<head>
<title>XHTML-Print DTD Redirect</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-print10.dtd">
</head>
<body>
<p></p>
</body>
</html>

but I'm not sure if redirects work in this case.

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?
