Comment(by mikeschinkel):

 First chance in a while I've had to really look at this lately. The
 additions for custom post types in 3.0 are brilliant; they transform
 WordPress; kudos!

 I have a few questions/concerns (some which may already have been
 addressed):

  * If a post type supports 'page-attributes' shouldn't it use a page
 template instead of a post template?
  * Shouldn't 'page-attributes' be more granular, i.e. 'parent-page',
 'template', and 'menu-order?'
  * Is there a way when registering the post type to change the slugs for a
 custom post type, i.e. if a parent page and slug for a custom post type of
 "car" are "Car" and "car" then "/car/mustang" is inconsistent and a site
 owner might want it to be "/cars/mustang."
  * Shouldn't a post be able to define a page as it's parent?
  * A nit on the (page) Attributes metabox; shouldn't the descriptions be
 collapsable to allow users to recover vertical screen space?

 '''There's also a bug I found:''' When a custom type supports  'page-
 attributes' WordPress doesn't seem respect the selected page template and
 instead loads single.php.
