   Once you access htpp://www.gnu.org/software/XXX via
   http://XXX.gnu.org, that link would try to take you to
   http://XXX.gnu.org/philosophy/...  (which stands for
   htpp://www.gnu.org/software/XXX/philosophy/...) which does not
   exist. We have to figure out some way to solve that problem, and
   propose a new Website policy for hyperlinks, before we create
   virtual domains XXX.gnu.org


The xxx.gnu.org sites should be built from scratch (of course, this
initial process could be automated from the existing pages at
www.gnu.org/software/xxx -- it is an almost trivial process).

The new pages should refer by absolute URL to www.gnu.org/philospohy,
not by relative URL.  In fact, the only URLs that should be relative
in that site should be the ones within that site.
