Comment(by demetris):
> It might even be adequate to advertise the existing "guid" forwarder.
For example, http://blogyul.miqrogroove.com/?p=5679 isn't the shortest URL
in the world, but it saves over 60 characters and already provides
canonical redirect.
I have three objections:
First, there is not demand for such a short URL.
Second, the WP document HEAD has already more than enough stuff in it as
it is.
Third, it is very easy to do with a plugin.
Consequently, I suggest WONTFIX.
(There is a probable fourth objection as well: the guid forwarder is not
supposed to be used like this. It is supposed to change, e.g. when you
switch to another platform. The permanent URL is supposed to be the
prettified permalink.)
