From the public-facing perspective, the later URL is what is pointed to
from the TC's public-facing home page, so that is what I expect the public
would use. The former URL is linked to from the password-protected Kavi
page, so the public would not stumble on that page. The exception would
be a TC member posted an email with a hyperlink to a URL from the private
repository. Is that what you are seeing? I know we had a problem
similar to that with doc repository links a while back.

I assume that, for IPR documentation reasons at least, OASIS will always
need to store their own copy of the emails. But I wonder if a URL rewrite
rule in Apache could simply redirect the "private" URLs to the public
copy? That would handle historic uses of the private URLs as well as
future ones.
