 Deleted content should be treated differently from content that never
 existed. WordPress could be enhanced by returning a 410 Gone response to
 requests for posts or pages that have been deleted.

 As I currently envision the solution, bits of old content (like a slug)
 would have to remain in the database after deletion.

 Using WordPress 2.8.5; could not find any references to this in pre-
 existing Trac tickets in Core.
