That's not good enough. Most web browsers will show the page title as
well as the URI in lists like tab lists and history. You also need to
cipher the <title> tag on every page, to ensure your app has no
usability at all.

But what about static files? If you have Apache (or whatever web server)
serving static files on its own rather than passing them off to
Static::Simple, you need to do the URI ciphering further forward than
Catalyst. It sounds like you should write an Apache module instead.
