* Broken link in PG docs

At the end of the following page:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/indexes-partial.html
there is a link [Generalized Partial
Indexes<http://simon.cs.cornell.edu/home/praveen/papers/partindex.de95.ps.Z;]
which is pointing to a missing link.
Can someone update the link with a live doc? Probably
this one

I agree the link should be fixed, but I can't see another canonical
location for the document online: linking to CiteSeer (which itself is
generated from the mention in our online docs) is probably not wise.
Can anyone find a good URL for this paper?

Hrm... is there any means to update the docs for older versions outside
of a new release?
Even if the answer is 'no', it'd still be good to make the change in
CVS. See attached (btw, this is in the docs back to at least 7.2).

citeseer's cache still has the paper, and in it I find the authors'
email addresses ... could try writing to them ...

I added the citeseer URL as an SGML comment. Neil is trying to contact
the author.
