re: "Does RewriteRule require RewriteCond, or anything else?"  
No, presuming www.Other_domain.tld is on another machine - or at least in a different virtual host
so it won't hit the same RewriteRule again after being redirected once.

re: "Should RewriteRule work all by itself?"
Yes.

re: "Is there some way to test WHY this does not work?"
Yes, add this:
  RewriteLog logs/rewrite.log
  RewriteLogLevel 9
then look in logs/rewrite.log for the details of what mod_rewrite is doing.

Works OK for me with Apache 2.2.8 on Windows. What are you running?
