1. We can add a new table, xwikiredirects, which holds redirect URLs.
2. We add document.getRedirects() (maybe both ways, from and to)
3. We need can change docdoesnotexist.vm to check for redirects.

Very good observation. I do agree with this. Vincent, can you take care of this?

I also agree with this. We need a JIRA for it. It's probably not going to happen before 1.0 final though (unless someone submits a full working patch for it). It requires some changes to the data model I believe, in order to do it properly (because deleted pages should not be visible as normal pages).

Thanks
