 > The Posts controller seems to make most sense at this point. The value
 of both `permalink_template` and `generated_slug` are dependent on the
 ''computed'' value of `$post->ID` and `$post->post_title`, and could vary
 from post to post (e.g. through filters).

 doesn't provide this for us.

 Thanks, I thought the `permalink_template` was the generic value set when
 registering a post type or via the permalinks settings page.
