I think maybe you need to step back again. Forget RewriteRules and simply list all the forms of URL that a human could possibly ask for. For each form, what do you want their address bar to say?

I agree with that. That is why I 'recapped' above:

The actual content files (1)-(4) (where the content lives).
The corresponding requests (1)-(4) (address bar).
The redirects (to prevent duplicates).
The rewrites (address bar to content).

I think I have listed everything.

Incidentally, I know that the redirects should really give the full path on the right side but I cannot include http:/example because the domains are unknown.
