Hmm... I'm not sure I agree.  For example, this would make folks with
photos about 90210, 356, and 1776 really annoyed at the new system.  The
simplest rule is the one we don't need :-)

My preference is this:
- make the new system simple, flexible, and exactly what we want.
- provide enough redirects for old URLs to keep most old sites happy during
the conversion.

Thinking again, there's actually a better rule we can use to deal with old
redirects:
gallery30x/tag/123/321 --> tag id 123 (which coincidentally has name 321,
but this isn't checked) - old canonical URL
gallery31x/tag/123/321 --> tag id 123, name 321 (sees slash and tries
this), then 301 redirect.
gallery31x/tag/123 --> tag name 123, or if none exists, look for a tag id
123 and 301 redirect.
gallery31x/tag/321 --> tag name 321 (which coincidentally has id 123, but
this isn't checked) - new canonical URL

The only oddball case here is old URLs that were truncated *and* coincide
with new URLs, for which I don't think we should break our new system to
support...

Take care,
Shad
