Hi Frank

I fear that the intelligence required to do this in all circumstances would 
require a significant development effort. As the highly talented people 
working on the coding side of thesite are all doing so unpaid and in their 
spare time, I really wouldn't hold my breath on this.

However, what we *are* thinking about is a custom error page which gives 
some likely places to start - kind of like this:
http://www.useit.com/anonexistantpage.html

As you may know, we're working on a significant development of thesite's 
presentation and backend - this may work it's way into that with any luck.

Cheers
Martin
