It looks like that removes the question mark, rather than changing the 
link to a read link, ie, the link still opens the page in Edit mode.

Yeah, I've basically been struggling with this for a long time. The 
GroupFooter mechnism very quickly outlives it's utility.

I find categories to be very powerful, but having to create a page for 
each category, without a mechanism to monitor when new categories are 
created provides a pretty open way to get things out of synch very quickly.

How do other people handle categories? Is there a way to pre-limit 
categories, or to somehow know when a new category is used?
