That's fine, the only thing I want to try and honor is URL rewriting.  
Thus a URL like:

http://www.example.com/index.php/article/PreSeasonDeer/

Should serve up fine.

The 'getPage' idea is nearly in-line with what I was expecting, I just 
didn't see how it would work for procedural plugins.

I don't argue this at all, again, it was more an issue of thinking 
through the procedural plugins.  I'm still fuzzy how this would work for 
them, though, I don't doubt it possible.  We just have to "make it so".
