Was more intended around "if the heading changes the redirect won't work
to the heading anymore." In practice, I've seen this happen very, very
rarely, and the redirect can certainly be changed to match the new
header (fixing it). As to browsers, I've never had such a problem with
Firefox, I just tested with Epiphany and it worked fine, and I've never
had any such problems with IE. (Can't test that now, but I might try it
next time I use a public Win machine.) What does it -not- work with?
I've seen that bogeyman brought up when merges were discussed before,
but no one seems able to say -what- it doesn't work with.
