And what happens when the page title changes, does this mean
that the url changes as well?  That could be bad -- sometimes
we want a short url with a long displayed title.  It's important
to remember that the name of a page needs to be able to be
independent of its title (PmWiki 1 suffered from the problem
that they were too closely linked).

...not to mention that in order to link to a page, an author
have to know the exact case of the title when writing the link.
*That's* annoying, and certainly a violation of PmWikiPhilosophy #1.
