webservices.apache.org should redirect to ws.apache.org because it's
generally bad form to have two URLs that refer to the same piece of
content.  It pollutes proxies and search engines, for example, and every
time you bring up a new service you need to do so for both hostnames.  If
the canonical name for the project is "ws.apache.org", and "webservices"
is provided as a favor for those who can remember that, that's fine.
