When a path-alias is created / edited for a node via the node-edit page (instead of directly via the URL Aliases page) there are no messages to the user that advise them whether the path-alias was created or updated. This is inconsistent with the menu subsystem. When you create / edit a menu item for a node via the node-edit page you get useful messages. It would be handy to add such messages for path aliases.

Further, it is not possible to delete a path alias for a node from the node's edit page. Again, this is inconsistent with the menu subsystem and would be a useful enhancement.

If we did the same thing with every field on the node form, we would end up with too many messages afterwards. No thanks. Even when you create a menu item on the node edit form, it doesn't create a separate message about it. Marking as won't fix.
