So, to check that I'm following you. You're proposing that the following 
should be depreceated (and obsoleted within a year or so):

	$group = FmtPageName("$Group", $PageName);

Instead, the argument to FmtPageName() should in this case look as 
follows:

	$group = FmtPageName("{$Group}", $PageName);

If this is correct, it sounds good to me. :-)
