All I know is I get burnt every time e.g., the translation of a built
in page name changes, so linking to
Rtd> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ --> 200 OK
gives little more confidence than linking to
Rtd> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page --> 200 OK

Let's see how the real professionals do it
$ HEAD -PdS www.google.com
HEAD http://www.google.com --> 302 Found
HEAD http://www.google.com.tw/ --> 200 OK
Oops. Well how about
$ HEAD -PSd www.whitehouse.gov
HEAD http://www.whitehouse.gov --> 200 OK

See. The pros don't tangle one up with kiddie links.
