Canonicalize URLs: at the moment, there are several different URLs referring to most pieces of content on Less Wrong.

Preferably, every such piece of content would have a canonical URL, and any other valid means of accessing it should redirect to the canonical form via FOUND or MOVED PERMANENTLY, or at least specify the preferred URLs to search engines via .
