I see that MT has a callback that comes after the page is built but before
it's published. It seems that it would be pretty easy to inject the logic
here and be done with it. I haven't written a MT plugin in a long while, but
it doesn't look too bad. And the performance hit on doing it the other way
is a non-trivial thing. You make good points! Thanks.
