No, I don't think so. All the URLs have an extra "papers/2005/" in them,
added in the last commit.  I think what probably happened is Paolo
imported the list from the "individual papers" section, which meant all
the relative URLs in the doc were wrong.

Revision 35 is online now anyway, so that should be imported, but taken
from http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-active.html and
not http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1762.html

That one is Not Found even when the "papers/2005/" dirs are removed,
has the working paper been taken off open-std.org ?
I though it used to be available (but access-restricted)
