Yes, what is the purpose? To provide a working *link*, or to provide a 
*description* of something that may or may not exist, as a starting point 
for research? If you know something once existed, you can do your own 
spelunking at archive.org ... the fact something disappears so easily 
suggesting that it wasn't in high demand.

There are 15 remaining items. None of them are from *tiddlyspot*.

The problem with automating detection is that only the sites with 404 
errors return crystal clear messages. Others time out, which might be a 
local connectivity problem. Others put you on a master host site, others 
put you on a "domain-for-sale" site. And then others exist, but the tiddler 
content is gone. So the author moved it some place else or tired of the 
project.

I'm thinking of just posting the remaining ones as they are, possibly with 
tag "badurl", and the community can provide information as they are 
discovered or sought for. The framing on archive.org apparently breaks the 
JS, so maybe posting those addresses isn't all that helpful anyways.
