Temporary redirects
In these cases, the source URL is probably the the "best" one, since the resource will presumably move again.
* Treat the source as canonical. This opens a vulnerability: a malicious site would construct temporary redirects to a good site, and could be notes noted as canonical. Subsequent Bookmark or subsequent visits or a bookmark to the good site might then be associated with the malicious site. For this reason, we should only treat the source as canonical in those cases where the user was redirectedwhich is free to change content. This approach also has problems for titles and favicons, which will be associated with the destination page. Keeping track of the appropriate attributes may be challenging.
* Show the destination only. This would treat the redirect just like a permanent redirect, but we shouldn't update any bookmarks. The danger is if the user tries to revisit the page by clicking in history, the resource may have moved again.
