There seem to be several interfaces to retreive MSDN articles... Some
of those interface might be more stable / provide a way to retrieve a
current link? (Framing the content would probably not be allowed, but
retreiving links should be...)

Web service interface:
http://services.msdn.microsoft.com/ContentServices/ContentService.asmx
(possibly the most useful for building current links?) (It might also
work to try and retreive as much information about MSDN links when
they are posted, in order to allow the links to be updated when the
site stucture change?) (Doing a web service query everytime to
retreive a link would probably be slow and inefficient...)
