A simple OPML (XML-based, naturally) file could easily be turned into
HTML, and the original might be useful for other purposes.

Would you want some sort of generalized redirect facility?  Say, so
that going to www.python.org/redirect/amk goes to my home page,
/redirect/cookbook goes to the Python cookbook, etc?  Or would we want
something in the toolchain, so that \namedurl{cookbook} is magically
replaced by the correct URL?
