#440 Support "clean" (short) URIs
The url-rewriting feature allows a page such as:
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=TikiWiki
to be specified as:
However, when Tiki renders pages it always produces
URLs in the long (former) format. It would be better, if
there were an setting/feature that allowed Tiki to render
pages in the shortened (latter) format, so that the
address shown in the browser's address bar, after
following a link, is the shortened format. This allows
users, unaware of rewriting and all that wonderful stuff,
to remember a simple URL for the page they just
navigated to.

I agree, the URLs in TikiWiki are very long. The current
rewrite rules that come with the distribution in .htaccess
only properly work for Wiki pages and are not dynamic.
I came across an xaraya rfc today which suggests a cross
platform approach without mod_rewrite. This enables shorter
URLs that are more search engine and user friendly.
The rfc is at http://docs.xaraya.com/docs/rfcs/rfc0023.html
I'm not sure how exactly it translates to the TikiWiki api or
approach but I think it's important to consider something
similar is done in a future release.
