I think Lee was relatively unconfused about the difference between articles and
pages. A page is a thing that you show to the user that has a title. An article
is a kind of editable page that is stored in the database; they have a
nonnegative namespace ID. Hence OutputPage::setArticleFlag(). 

Mind you, he did introduce ImagePage, so maybe he was a little bit confused.
And it went a long way downhill from there, under later authors.
