I'm glad I played it out, because your answers didn't match mine.  :-)

I'll play along with this one for now...

Okay, but given that the URL being used to create the new page is (from  
your answer above) 

    http://www.example.com/wiki/group/myphotoshoppage?action=edit 

how does the edit page form know that the first 'p' is supposed to
be capitalized?  The edit form has no information beyond what appears
in the url -- i.e., it can't look back at the page you were previously
on to determine the case from there.

I wasn't intending it to be a trick question; I'm ignoring (:title:)
for the moment, which always sets the page's title.  But why did the
"P" in "page" get capitalized?  (Conversely, why wasn't the 'm'
capitalized?)

Right, I knew that one.  :-)

I was looking for the full pagename -- i.e., the full pagename would
be "css.mystylesheet"?

And is that how it would appear at the top of its page... i.e.,
as "css / mystylesheet" in all lowercase?
