Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Augmenting acs_objects - adding package_id, name, and clarifying other fields

I think for things with non ascii pretty names you will need a plain ascii url part. What about things like forum threads where the pretty name might be the thread subject but the subjects are not always unique so you would need to disambiguate them in the urlpart. Or what about a document with a long title which you want to show up at a url which is not so long. e.g. something titled "2003 Annual Report to the Audit Committee" which you want at url /audit/2003Report or similiar. The presumption that the url fragment and the content item pretty name should be the same seems to be way too restrictive.
