Awesome, that did it. Thanks!  

But unfortunately it's still not 100% complete.  This is the code that works thus far:

		global $wp,$wp_rewrite;
		$wp->add_query_var('financial-term');
		$wp_rewrite->add_rewrite_tag('%financial-term%', '([^/]+)','financial-term=');
		$wp_rewrite->add_permastruct('financial-term', '%financial-term%');
		$pages = get_pages();
		foreach ( $pages as $page ) {
			$wp_rewrite->add_rule("$page->post_name/?","index.php?page_id={$page->ID}",'top');
		}
		$wp_rewrite->flush_rules(false);

Unfortunately I'm finding that get_permalink() returns 'example.com/financial-term/term-name/' (which generates a 404) instead of 'example.com/term-name/' which serves as I want it to.  I can of course hook 'post_link' and manipulate the link but it's like I shouldn't have to do it that way and thus am doing something wrong.  

OTOH, looking just now at the definition of register_post_type() it seems to give no other option than something like '%post_type%/post-name'.  Any ideas, or is this just where a new filter is needed?
