But in the solution I proposed, the only change necessary to convert a po= st-redirect link to a pre-redirect link is (in the case of HTML as the re= direct target) chop off the =E2=8C=9C.html=E2=8C=9D extension of the name= . That's hardly a dealbreaker (and the Info browser can offer to chop it = automatically if you feed it a URL with a =E2=8C=9C.html=E2=8C=9D extensi= on). And even that's necessary only because web browsers traditionally di= scard the pre-redirect name. As I proposed for Info browsers, the name is= n't discarded; what's shown in the address bar is the pre-redirect name, = so no conversion is necessary.
