Re: Title based URLs

OK, pages work too, but that means titles have to be unique across  
items and pages. I don't know how well this is going to work, there's  
probably going to have to be something else added. We'll see, I'll let  
it settle for a few days and see what comes from it.

I've finished converting the styles to use the new naming and in the  
process cleaned it up so it would be trivial to change it back if  
necessary. The URLs are much better now though, especially for pages  
which I didn't like at all before.
