Ok, that's an option. But not really, since there are ca. 1.300 pages
with aliases.

Meanwhile I've looked into the code. It seems that only a single line
has to be changed to make my dream come true:
$url = $this->makeSimulatedFileName(
	$page['title'],
	($page['alias'] ? $page['alias'] : $page['uid']), // gotcha!
	intval($parameters['typeNum']),
	$LD['linkVars'],
	($LD['no_cache'] ? true : false)
);

I did a quick test. If I change it to 
	($page['alias'] ? $page['uid'] : $page['uid']),	// gotcha!

the alias isn't used any more for link generation. But it's still
accepted when received. 

Maybe I'll do some further testing and invent an option like
$this->conf['simulateStaticDocuments_noAliases'] and prepare a patch.
