Certainly with my test page, that would seem to agree with that theory.
As said, the cache of the non re-written page now points to the new one
anyway. So as long as there's no duplication penalty, it looks like I
can go ahead and implement the new look site with the new URLs ( even
though most will point to existing pages ), and hopefully in 3 - 4
months time, google will sort all the PR bits and pieces out.
