Yep, "static".  Are we going to do anything with this in the default WP
distribution?  We would need to expose it on the advanced edit page and
exclude "static" posts from archive queries.  static posts would have to
be named by id or nicename.  We could even have a separate permalink
structure for static posts.  Maybe something like /site/post-title by
default.  Or, just put it in a plugin.  It's implemenation would be a
good indicator of what hooks we need.
