Because 1.3 code and docs are no longer maintained. Because 1.3 docs shipped in the tarball, they got the whole deal when they downloaded it. By continuing to publish something out-of-date, we imply to users that there is some support of that software that does not in fact exist IMHO. Serving out-of-date docs is a disservice to our users. I agree that anyone hitting a 1.3/ URL should be redirected to a pointer that they need to re-obtain the tarball and use the embedded docs shipped with httpd 1.3.42.
