Re: ignore_directories behaves differently in static rendering?

I think the answer here is that I didn't intend this behavior 
explicitly, but it sounds ok to me.  Static rendering shouldn't behave 
like web rendering does.  Amongst other things, it builds a static, 
final, public site--it's not designed for allowing you to preview and 
such locally.  Writing a plugin to allow that is probably possible, but 
I think the workflow is messy.

As a side note, I don't think ignore_directories was implemented for the 
purpose of drafts, but I don't remember what the primary use case was. 
It's probably somewhere in the mailing list archives, I would imagine.
