 into some form of "?friendly-worded-title". In the event a user doesn't
 have mod_rewrite/.htaccess (and *only* then) I think the form of links
 suggested here are better than "?id=123".

 Doing that will IMO cause many fewer people to go to the trouble to set
 URLs that don't require the '?'.  I'd rather see us encourage people to
 fix them, encourage web hosts to make it easier, etc. than to give people
 a crutch that many would consider ''"good enough."''  Just my opinion, of
 course.

 > Query string containing permalinks are the defaults now. It's likely
 that everyone who can change them does so immediately after setting up WP
 (see the discussion of that here, #16416). Unless we can do perfect mod-
 rewrite detection things should stay that way

 Exactly.
