 should be returning a Search Results page listing the possible locations
 which may have been intended..

 progressively remove refinements until a single post is returned. (ie.
 2010/05/04/postname doesnt return, does 2010 + 05 + 04 + postname return?
 ok, how about 2010 + 05 + postname, 2010+postname? etc)

 A search page for when the # of results is > 1 sounds acceptable, and so
 does the latter solution, although my concern is that it might result in
 more queries (which, in this case, is actually not bad - it would only
 result in 1 more query if there are no results by the time you get to the
 date filter).
