I'm sorry, but I have to disagree.  In the case my example, I referred 
to an example of virtual pages versus hard controller pages.  In the 
case of matching fields, if a controller redirect occurs to a statically 
created page, I want the name field and the controller field to be exact 
because of meta data creation in quite a few areas.  However, in the 
case of a virtually created (dynamic) page where redirects are not 
occurring, the controller field is not used and the name field is. 
Therefore, you would not use a controller field for a virtually created 
page.  So, no, you would not destroy another field that serves a 
completely different and unique purpose.

It's very easy to provide a simple no to a question but before you do, 
you should understand what you are saying no to.
