Agreed. It was probably an error not to incorporate the old URL's
into the new design. It's almost like changing your phone number or
address. All you can do here is ask, and hope that people are willing
to change. Ideally, if any of the browsers thought seriously about
important stuff like bookmark management (how many of you have
hundreds of URL's?), or about shielding users from URL's/URI's this
would not be such a problem. It seems to me that the browser app
should deal with redirection not the user.
