[wp-hackers] Best way to create a "page" with plugin?

[Ian Barber]

I like the content replacing method as above, though it would be nice to
have a method for excluding pages from being displayed by wp_list_pages and
the like. I know wp_list_pages itself has a filter, but you get the HTML
version which makes me a little worried that the markup will change and
cause the removing to break.
