Now - what happens if you have two authors named "John Smith"? Your
design just fell apart.

Ummm... who said anything about real names -- I was only extracting their
login. Two authors with the same name would have different logins.

Also, a persons login id may not be the same as their name. And if I'm
authoring an article, I want my name on it, not my userid.

This might not be for generating a page. Perhaps articles are kept on
users' own home pages, so you want to generate a link like:

<a href="/~LOGIN/articles/">TITLE</a>

Not a design I would use.

I think we've established that. :-)
