and your comment is the perfect demonstration why: when truncated, the id gets cut off before the slug.

Which is... something you don't want to happen, right?

To be fair, if you truncate a url for anything other than display, it's toast (which is why no sane person truncates URLs except for display).

Right, I was thinking purely display truncation, like here. Surviving copy-paste from here or other actual truncation it's bad, true.
