 Say I write a post whose url is
 `http://example.com/wp/2011/01/hello-world/`

 All of the following requests cause wordpress to generate a 200 response
 and display the "Hello World" post:

 `http://example.com/wp/2011/01/-hello-world/`
 `http://example.com/wp/2011/01/-hello-world--/`
 `http://example.com/wp/2011/01/.-hello-world.--/`

 Same for pages. Basically, hyphens and dots (and possibly other
 characters) before/after the actual slug are just ignored.

 Wordpress should either be 404'ing or redirecting such requests to the
 posts actual URL.
