Is this for Ian's stand-alone WK only?

There's no Webkit.URLParser in stock.

Interestingly, it seems like this will map any URL ending in Article/X to blog/Article?id=X. So /really/long/URL/to/Article/10 will map to the same location as /Article/10. Which is, perhaps, what you want.

You can raise exceptions in the parsing too, so you could do something like (after you tests for 'Articles'):

if len(values) != 3:
....# I think it should be 3, including the empty root segment, but maybe the magic number is 2
....raise HTTPRedirect(location='/Article/%s' % values[-1])

Then you'll accept alternate URLs, but canonicalize them to a single form.
