I agree the link should be fixed, but I can't see another canonical

Can anyone find a good URL for this paper?

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.
