Oh hmm that's really neat and means we wouldn't have to worry about caching.
But I also recall seeing links gleefully passed around that troll the news sites, when the pretty part is ignored completely.
So perhaps a compromise: use the post number to look up the entry, and then double-check against a saved version of the URL slug or something of the sort? Then you couldn't have http://denise.dreamwidth.org/57428/dw-just-bought-out-by-6a (or mis-titles along that line)
