Comment(by mrmist):

 +1 to most of that.  I particularly like the idea of a "Maybe you were
 looking for" type page.

 Really I just don't want a completely random / short selection of
 characters to redirect to a post URL.  I can see the point about cut-off
 email URLs, but in that case I think that DDBs logic should apply.
