16374	Flawed handling of some characters in %postname% and %pagename%	solarissmoke		"Say I write a post whose url is
`http://example.com/wp/2011/01/hello-world/`

All of the following requests cause wordpress to generate a 200 response and display the ""Hello World"" post:

`http://example.com/wp/2011/01/-hello-world/`
`http://example.com/wp/2011/01/-hello-world--/`
`http://example.com/wp/2011/01/.-hello-world.--/`

Same for pages. Basically, hyphens and dots (and possibly other characters) before/after the actual slug are just ignored. 

Wordpress should either be 404'ing or redirecting such requests to the posts actual URL."	defect (bug)	closed	normal		Rewrite Rules	3.1	minor	duplicate
