Comment:

 I can see 3 options here:

  1. Use ?page=xxx for the front page instead of <permalink>/xxx/
  2. Reuse /page/xxx/ for Nextpaging instead of Posts paging on front page
  3. Use /xxx/ with a few caveouts:
    * Could only be used on sites without a numeric as their first token in
 the permastruct
     * Could be used, however,the maximum number of pages would be 1 less
 than the minimum length of the token, ie. years would max it to 3 digits
 of pages, Month or Post ID as the first would reduce it to a max of 0
 pages working correctly.

 I'm curious as to what everyone else would expect?

 I've got all 3 options working locally, Just need to determine which is
 the winning solution.

 Personally, I'd prefer #3, but it's way too fragile. #2 feel like a good
 compromise, since the rule already exists and isnt in use. #1 is it, if #2
 isnt acceptable - But it feels ugly to have to use a query var for it.
