I want to note that these are internal URLs in the launchpad system that
are "accidentally" available by public URLs.

What I mean is, we don't support these staying the same, or continuing
to be accessible as we develop the system.

So, by all means experiment making systems pull in these URLs, and
display them as you want.  But also, don't depend on them continuing to
work in the long term.

I think the idea of having page fragments or data that other systems and
websites can pull out of Launchpad and use is a good one.  We'll do
something that is actually supported for this in the nearish future.
