Problem with Slug/URL with same subpages

[acasperw]

Could the filename not have a small unique identifyer saved with the .xml name, which strips it out and only uses the user defined slug name?

It could if we were at the 1.0 release. It was an assumption i made 2 years ago, that turned out to be not the best, but it's something that would take A LOT of change at this point to fix

I totally understand, i think its something you should look into for a future release, as its not a isolated incident, and it seems like a logical move forward.
