Well...

Webmaster W1 has a very cool application on his page. It lives here:

http://www.w1.com/applications/theCoolestPackageEver.pkg.

(In case you just clicked on the link above: This was just an example...)

Methinks this is a very cool application, so I put the link above on
my page.

Webmaster W1 decides that "applications" isn't a fitting directory name
for applications, so he puts the cool application here:

http://www.w1.com/twiddleDee/theCoolestPackageEver.pkg.

How is the meta refresh tag going to ensure that my unchanged link
is directed to W1's new link??
