Comment (by markjaquith):

 Sounds good in theory.  Is your plan to keep the existing verbose page
 matching rules if the permalink structure starts with one of (category,
 postname, author) ?

 We '''could''' allow for ambiguous URLs, but we'd have to issue an
 additional query to disambiguate.  For example, with
 /%author%/%postname%/, we would have to do a query for {{{author =
 firstthing AND post_name = secondthing}}} and then query for a page path.
 Don't know if that's worth it.  We'd then also have to worry about
 duplicate URLs (a page name that matches an author name).  Probably more
 trouble than it is worth.

 But yeah, go ahead and take a shot at it.
