I might have misunderstood the purpose of the SkinTest group. Now I see
that it was probably intended as a group to keep pages in which are like
unit tests for skins. Is that it?
My idea was simply that
http://pmwiki.org/skin/<SomeSkin>/Group/SomePage
would be interpreted as something like
http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Group/SomePage?setskin=<SomeSkin>
in order to make it "prettier" when demonstrating. (Actually,
'?setskin=...' should perhaps be something else, if you don't want the
skin choice to stick).
As I said, I'm not sure if it makes sense... the one advantage I can see
is that it might be easier for less experienced users to try out different
skins if the URI easily identifies what skin they are using?
