I'm thinking about ways to implement Martin's idea of smarter handling of short
URLs here.

It seems we would need an extra column in the Articles table which contains the
URL-sanitized title, for quick matching on a page request.  Such a column would
have to be updated each time the article's title is edited.  That, or it seems
we would need a very complex SQL query that would match a URL-sanitized string
to the real title at run-time.  I'm not actually sure this is possible. 
Comments on these ideas?  I'm not exactly a SQL guru but I like this idea very much.

On the ideas I was proposing before Martin's comment, what about a checkbox
somewhere that would turn off/on the ability to double-escape Short URL's?  It
would be sort of like the "fix HTML characters" feature.  This way, we wouldn't
have to worry about which web server or mod_rewrite versions people are using. 
I'd even be willing to code this feature if we thought that was a good idea.
