maybe so.  It's another place that the config file requires editing.

all of us.  That's why I threw out a working example to see what direction
everyone can agree on.

The pages like about.php, poll.php, etc.  are kind of there
for compatibility.  They could be replaced in the menu with different
links.  However, each one of them requires changes for their
forms/arguments to work correctly.

The reason the block_render*.class files aren't needed as much is that for
a module block you can set the module and the php page called from the
module directory.  

There really is all kinds of weird stuff you can do.

We might be able to put a placeholder for the username in the logout menu
item.

Might be the ip instead of a host name.  Also might be the attempt to make
all the browsers happy with different rooturl setups.  Mozilla is a little
more strict at deleting cookies than setting them.
