It's understandable that ES uses ID's which uses Joomla's standards. The profile has a permalink that removes the id which is totally awesome!

So the question arises, while groups and events have permalinks, they do not remove the ids.

Here is an example of what it currently looks like:
http://www.test.alpineascent.com/more/events/item/7-mountains
Ideally it should be
http://www.test.alpineascent.com/more/events/mountains
If this wasn't my test site and if I didn't use events as a sub item it would be even better than that.

Right now the permalink doesn't really serve much of a purpose for groups/events. I suppose it's an alias for now. The /item part is strange too, profiles without permalinks look cleaner than that.
