 Umm, I'm just someone with a loud mouth, and when I have something to say
 I'll jusy say it, so no offence here John! Ultimately this comes down to
 the way the WordPress Rewrite System works, there's no way about it!
 ''(Correct me if I'm wrong?)''

 Post Types, or Taxonomies, that all have the {{{/baseterm/}}} then
 {{{/whatever/}}} after, resulting in {{{/books/professional-wordpress/}}}
 or {{{/books/smashing-wordpress/}}} will always have the {{{/baseterm/}}}
 404'ing out on you until something is done...! It's simply there to point
 you in the right direction, '''not that I agree with the way that works in
 the slightest'''!

 I can see you point John, don't get me wrong, but this '''doesn't just'''
 apply to Post Types, the Rewrite Rules are to blame (IMO) here! But hey,
 if I'm straying off-topic, then so be it, I find it amusing to see you're
 not being shot at and told to post on the WP-Hackers Mailing List, I know
 I was, with something basically the same ... no sour grapes though! ;)

 If you want me, I'll be lurking in the background somewhere?!
