You're right, assuming only one format will be used, and apparently that's the consensus. > And the reason has nothing to do with the format. True. But my proposal to use redirection to handle multiple formats had nothing to do with the format, but only with the _quantity_ of formats for which URL syntax would be used. I thought that quantity would be two, but the consensus appears to be one. My proposal for redirection is only useful if the quantity is greater than one. My proposal _also_ happened to include a way to specify the Info file that contains a page, to handle the usual case of multiple Info pages per file (unlike for HTML, which normally has each page in a separate file), because I assumed that Info would be one of the formats used, but that's a separate issue from using redirection to handle multiple formats. > we just want to define URLs which are 100% equivalent > in meaning to "()".
