Testing whether WordPress will prevent duplicate URLs on long titles when using title URLS, Part 1

This is just a test. Apparently SixApart’s “use title in the URL” option (assuming it’s an option, as it is in WP) will cheerfully generate identical URLs for more than one post, if the only difference in the title comes at the end of a fairly long string. (John DuPuis accidentally discovered this.)

Is the same true for WordPress? This is Part 1 of a two-part test to find out; I’ll post Part 2 in a few minutes.
