Database: databases like numeric keys. I think it would be good to replace the machine-readable type there with numbers.
I think we should use numeric IDs in combination with path aliases to provide clean URLs. It's consistent with the rest of Drupal, makes for a fast/lightweight/cruft-free solution, avoids all kind of problems and is future safe (makes referential integrity easier/faster). I think it a bad idea to auto-generate URLs at different layers of the Drupal application. The path aliasing system attempts to unify/ centralize that task. If we want to auto-suggest names, that should be in relationship with the URL aliasing system. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
