As you said, it has one big minus - everybody will think that is the
same page.  When it isn't.  If you'd use some server-side scripting it
might be one solution to make two includes: first, one with an
anouncement like "the new page is at..." and second the actual page.

It isn't portable as long as you give the full URL
"http://www.gnupg.org/path/to/your/file.html".  If you use something
like "./new/directory/file.html" or "../../directory/file.html" should
work well with mirrors as well.

This is a no IMHO as you have such a clean code right now and tend to
follow the standards meaning portability.
