If we get around to implementing Google's link analysis, as Geoff suggested, then we may be able to fix the problem properly. It seems that any fix will have to look at all links *to* a page, and then mark as "obsolete" those *links* where (a) the link-from page ("Y") is changed and (b) it no longer contains the link. After the dig, all pages must be checked (in the database), and those with no links which are not obsolete can themselves be marked as obsolete.
Yep ... that's exactly what I wrote ... Sorry Lachlan.
