Minor question: If you give a separate password for a page, e.g. 
Site.Help, this password will override the "group password"?
Can you give an 'empty' password separately for a page, in case I'd like 
Site.Help to be editable without needing a password?

(Note: This doesn't really matter to me... I've password protected all
pages with a simple password just to avoid spam)

I think the main thing is that we write the above in big letters for 
people who are upgrading within the v2-series. Then we should make sure 
that this works flawlessly, leaving them a way to do the transition to 
Site/ when/if they feel like it.

Similarly, when upgrading from v1, then it should by default try and use 
'Site/' and it should work as smoothly as possible.

For other cases, e.g. in my case where I'm already using Site/', I'll just 
have to accept that I'll need to do some manual fiddling to get it working 
- that's what you get when using a beta-version.
