Well I did think it'd be more complex, but you never know, maybe it's just 
the code looked like another language to me, and in fact it'd be something 
as simple as I posted, damn shame it not...! ;) And yes, I know WP is 
dynamic, maybe WP should store real files, that'd solve the problem out for 
sure! =)

Yes, OK, it's a good question, I *myself* don't know!

But if I was to create a post, page and custom taxonomy term all with 
'contact' then I'm not sure? At the end of the day, a page is more 
appropriate, I think it all comes down to common sense here. Couldn't WP do 
what it does with post permalinks, if a duplicate is created, add on the -2, 
although as I said the common sense side of things should keep you just with 
page.

Giving it something like a date, will speed up the process yes.
