I've been following your forms development w/ interest, Charlie -and this makes it all the more interesting- but i really think this idea of permalinks using createdate is much simpler, if indeed that attribute satisfies the 2 aforementioned criteria. There is so much goodness in a TW instance that is title-dependent, i'm afraid that throwing some auto-generated code into the title would compromise its human-friendliness, if nothing else. /w
