Yeah I would have liked to redirect the old urls to the new ones ...  
but I have to put my hands up and say I couldn't figure out how to do  
it ... that remains a black art to me.  I don't understand what you  
mean about adding a new method to a controller though.  Will  
something go horribly wrong if I deploy the duplicated lines in  
routes to a live platform?  I was planning the live migration for  
Sunday(ish) :)

It seems to work locally.  URLs are displayed as localhost/articles/y/ 
m/d/title so crawlers should pick up the posts with that taxonomy,  
and any new posts I test have those URLs.  But if I try to navigate  
to an old post (imported for testing, but lets say it was from a  
Google referral) it still handles the old taxonomy I had (localhost/y/ 
m/d/title).  And you're right in saying this only works because I had  
the /year/month/date/title taxonomy both on Textpattern and my  
earlier Wordpress blog ... the only difference between the two is the  
addition of '/article/' in the link.
