Description
Currently attachement links are in the form:
http://www.example.com/?attachment_id=1
Would look much neater if these matched the permalinks of regular posts (depending on what it is configured to) eg:
http://www.example.com/attachement/1/

Re-opening this guy.
If media is uploaded using Media -> Add New, it doesn't get a permalink because it doesn't have a post.
I'd like to suggest the idea proposed in the original post be reconsidered. Query strings are ugly. :)

Attachment permalinks are in the form [parent permalink]/[attachment slug]. There is not an intermediate attachment permalink style. What is an attachment without something to attach to?
It has not been decided what to do with orphaned attachments, although I think we should drop and unlink.
