 >   As far as possible, make sure the file name matches the title of 
the topic. So if your topic is "Inserting the Widget" then your file 
name would be "inserting_the_widget.xml". I realize this may cause 
problems later if the title changes, but that doesn't happen often and 
you can usually make the change to the file name without too much hassle 
(changing it in ditamaps, etc.).

Since this has come up, I was wondering if any DITA-aware CMS offerings 
can present the topic title or map title for selection by the user, 
instead of the file name.  This would support the use of GUIDs for the 
file names, which would guarantee uniqueness, and allow users to adjust 
titles without having to manage ditamaps, related-links, or xrefs.
