Well, maybe, and it'd be nice to have a per-publication configurable
title-to-node-name policy.  But javascript is so much faster in terms
of both run time and developer effort in this case.  The user needs to
see the node name immediately after entering the title so he/she can
make immediate changes if needed.  This patch cuts by half the number
of fields the editor must enter when creating a new document, so my
users were very happy when I implemented this locally.  The testers
especially were glad for the extra convenience.

I can also provide a patch for 1.4 if anybody wants one.

Yes, that's true. It is certainly good to apply this patch as it is.
My only concern was the knowledge duplication of the node name syntax,
especially regarding special characters.

I'm convinced that it is a very valuable usability improvement.

Sure, that would be great!

Thanks a lot,
