I think it's a great idea.
Why not put them on PURL, and then have that redirect to something we
control really easily, e.g.,
http://debian-xml-sgml.alioth.debian.org/data/xml/... Or if it's
upstream without a system location, we can provide one until upstream
gets it together. Using PURL lets us do that with out having to
change the URL.
This way we don't have to pester the www.debian.org guys.
