Mine too. Although this is less important in my sites now that we
have the ability to specify [[Group/]] and [[Group.]].

...or just create a Main.Main page, in which case everything
becomes surprisingly consistent again. :-)

Noted. We currently have things as "Main.HomePage" because I think
this gives a better first impression than "Main.Main" does, and
it helps to initially distinguish the group name from the page name.
And of course there are a number of people who would prefer the other
choice -- make "Group.Group" go away and always have everything
be "Group.HomePage". :-)
