the argv array holds all path elements that come *after* the URI of the
active (and only active) page. So if /company/ is active,
/company/department/activities/outdoors/survival.html will result in
$argv = [ "department", "activities", "outdoors", "survival" ]
The trailing '.html' is stripped since we've mostyly used it to
pass IDs and the .html was just for pretty URLs and for some braindead
browsers that used the extensions instead of the Content-type header
to determine how to display the page data. IE has fixed this since
4.something I think.

If you wanted to match 'company' in argv that would mean you'd need to
set the
root page to active (not a very common practice).

The same. You can sefaly assume that anything (besides the images) that
has a
'human-readable' path is using a page record.

These pages are all active, see explanation above.

Code-init can certainly act on this data, but the difference lies in
active
vs. static pages.
