I don't get this. the protocol already includes a mechanism that allows a server to say "this resource has moved". all clients already support this (if they don't, they're seriously broken). smart clients even update their caches and other configuration tables if they get a permanent redirect.duplicating this in the document seems like a very strange thing to do...
How could we write a HOWTO for that?
Here's one for Apache:
if you move a file, add a line like this to the .htaccess file in the original directory (create one if necessary).
RedirectPermanent /old.xml http://my.server.com/new.xml
make sure you've written it all on one line, and that the second URL is a full URL (including the host part).
if this doesn't work, ask your local server administrator for help, and/or check the apache FAQ at http://www.apache.org.
