-* you can't create slugs with hyphens or underscores, even though  
these are valid in urls

-* the character limit is quite short (longer titles can be useful for SEO).

+a few usability enhancement ideas:

  * javascript to auto-generate the slug based on the form title would  
be nice.  Similar to how EE does things, when the slug field is empty,  
as a user types in the page title, the slug is generated, converting  
spaces to underscores or hyphens (could be config, or default to  
underscore).  Once the slug input has a value, changing the title  
doesn't change the slug.

  * display a warning if a user tries to change the slug after a form  
has already been saved ("Warning: changing the slug will cause the  
link for this form to change.")
