Agreed. Later, if dang gets his better url, his comment might read "17 hours ago" "the site of the current url" and we'll be thinking some proper source ripped off the content.
All of the solutions are sub-optimal, but preserving a history would be nice, at least.
As a note: I really wish that HN would include a history of title and/or link changes for an article, so that when you go to a thread an people are complaining about some problem with one of them (or are reading the article with an interpretation based on the old title), it becomes easier to tell what they were referring to by checking against the history. As it is, in a large number of the cases in which a title or link is changed, a large portion of the discussion no longer makes sense as it was referring to the old title and/or link.
