But I'm not so sure that 'mis-spelling' is what this is, given that
both variants have been used in the titles of books by reputable
publishers.  I absolutely agree that a redirect is in order -- we
don't need two articles here.  But I also think that a line or two in
the body of the article covering the variant spelling is warranted,
since it's something that a reader is likely to wonder about.
