 Good point.  Perhaps we should hide it if pretty permalinks aren't
 enabled.

 > and if you are using pretty permalinks once you save a post, there is a
 much cleaner experiening above the post for adjusting the permalink.

 Adjusting the title post-publishing does not update the post slug, and I
 wouldn't recommend changing that.  Yes, we do have code to redirect to the
 new post slug, but there is still an SEO hit.  Also, some people like to
 craft custom post slugs that are more elegant than our one-size-fits-all-
 generated-from-the-title solution.

 We can, however, make the post slug interface better.  One of the things I
 really liked from Bryan Veloso's wp-admin mockups was that the post slug
 editing interface was in the context of the future URL of the post.

 http://example.com/2008/02/06/[______________] /

 That is really clever, because it tells people exactly what a post slug
 is.
