The link is missing a trailing slash, and caused a redirect. Adding the
trailing slash would speed up browsing.

I've updated a bunch of them. The remaining ones are intentional. Please file a new bug if any of the current redirects are in your opinion bad.

It's not clear to me how they are not bad. OK maybe www-archive.mozilla.org will possibly be moved back to www.mozilla.org in the future, but the others seem bad to me.

I left this one because I'm not sure heycam intends to keep editing the spec, and I figured it's more likely that the dev.w3.org redirect will be updated than that the heycam.github.io page will redirect, if it changes.

The URL we're using now seems more likely to be stable on the long term.

I was thinking that this page might migrate back to the previous URL, but actually upon further discussion, this seems unlikely. Fixed.
