Hmm, I just thought about this again. Shouldn't we do a redirect to the
correct page here, instead of displaying the same content under two
different URLs?

Calling doku.php?id=ns: should redirect me to doku.php?id=ns:start (or
to whatever it resolves). This makes sure the user bookmarks the
correct page and search engines are happier with canonical URLs as well.

Sorry for not mentioning this before...
