?flav=flavour will still be there, you don't want to break people's 
templates, especially when some of them do pyblosxom and blosxom 
together. I'm just saying that index.flavour is synonymous to ?flav=flavour

General blosxom behaviour on this is, render the whole site as per 
normal when something goes wrong, or show header and footer when 
entrylist is empty. This I think is not good IMHO. I'll build a renderer 
RSN, where you can throw messages at it if you do not have entryList, 
etc, to be finalized by me, The least is to throw in a body and title, 
and I'll draw out the header, story and footer based on the template. 
Should be more civilized this way :)
