   I've done a lot of testing and have got all the rules I need working in a non-Wordpress environment but still using the default htaccess.

   I have rewrite rules translating the last "folder" to a query string and I'm able to echo the $_GET['querystring']. This is just some 'querystring' for something else has nothing to do with WordPress.

   /page/id5555/ to /page/?querystring=id5555

   Although my theme is echoing this query string, WordPress is still interpreting it as looking for /page/id5555/.

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule ^page/\b([A-z][A-z]\d{4})\b/?$ /page/?querystring=$2 [L]
   </IfModule>

   So at this point the new URL is /page/?querystring=id5555
   Which next comes...
   

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   # END WordPress

   but WordPress tries to interpret '/page/id5555/' instead. Though I am able to echo $_GET['querystring'].
