more influence on url aliases / microsites / directories

For me, it would be a real killer feature, if there were the following possibilities, given as example with the following structure:

Code: Select all

* index
   * products [alias: products]
      - coffee grinder [alias: coffee]
      - small european cars [alias: cars]
      - indian teas [alias: tea]
      - headquarters cleaning [alias: hq]
   * services [alias: service]
      - installation services [alias: install]
   * contact [alias: contact]
      - headquarter [alias: hq]
      - euopean branch [alias: europe]

influence on url:
In the above example (using mod_rewrite), the urls might be /products/coffee.html, /service/install.html, /contact/hq.html, etc... notice the double-usage of alias hq in different categories!

microsites:
Using the above technique, the implementation of microsites (or multi-domain-entries) might be done more easily. Would be nice, if one could define different entries into the frontend, based on http-headers (domain-name requested, etc...)

directories:
speaks for itself, /products or /products/index.html would lead to the starting page of category products

Well, thus so far... appreciating feedback!!!

Best regards... Andreas from Berlin

I second to that. aliases for articles would be a really good thing.
