Also this should be off by default since it's backward compatibility
and a wrong behavior in a normal new wiki.
There's one remaining problem Thomas with this: the default XAR will
not display properly. We would need to have 2 XARs for this to work:
one for backward compat and a new one, using titles. And this is a
pain to do IMO.
We don't want a new user to start XE and find that all titles are
duplicated by default with a clean wiki he hasn't touched.
WDYT?
We are not supposed to do backward compatibility on what we are
releasing... if XE is wrong for 2.0 it should be fixed.
