Bug Description

After the change to application vhosts, I expected that

  http://bugs.launchpad.net/96847

would work, but it doesn't.

jamesh says that 96847 _could_ be a product number, but obviously it's not.

What I said is that the constraint on product/distro/project names that we use in Launchpad would accept "96847" as valid.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to make straight integers invalid Launchpad names so that we are free to provide URLs like this.

It is interesting to note that we already have one place where integers and Launchpad names are looked up for the same path component: bug nicknames are Launchpad names, and you can use either bug numbers or bug nicknames as a path component after https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/. In this case, it tries to interpret the path component as an ID first so numeric nicknames can't be used as a URL component.
