[wp-hackers] Static content plugin

[Alex]

This could be done with a rewrite rule and a plug-in, or modification
to WP itself. I'd guess that'd be up to the WP devs whether they want
this integrated or as a plugin. I think I could code a plugin that
would do this (if there is a hook for the rewrite rule options). Dunno
if it is better as a feature?
