As I've thought about it more, my main concern has not been about
distinguishing user content from editorial content. That was more David
Howe's interpretation of my concern. My concern has been about not lending
the authority of this site to someone's personal opinions or preferences,
particularly in regard to the naming of pieces. This can be handled in part
through appropriate organization and automatically-placed disclaimers. So I
don't think it is necessary to name the author in the semantic URL. Also,
Tim Berners-Lee recommends against this practice.

What I have in mind is to represent MS itemids with three different
pseudo-directories: invention, report, and opinion. Invention would be for
a game page written by the game's inventor. Report would be for a game page
written by someone other than the game's inventor or for reporting actual
usage or convention, as in a Piececlopedia article. Opinion would be for
non-game articles in which the author puts forth his own ideas for the sake
of shaping usage or convention, as opposed to reporting on what these have
been. This is why piece articles have been distinguished from Piececlopedia
articles. The Piececlopedia is an encyclopedic reference on what usage and
convention have been, whereas the piece articles express suggestions by the
author. For some of the other types, it may be appropriate to use the type
name. I may go over what types of pages belong to each type to better
decide how to structure and organize types.
