Thanks for the input.

>> but beware of the costs of creating "reserved"/"manditory" structures. 

Can you elaborate?  Maybe with examples?

--- sorry, i can't find a reference, but somewhere there was a big
discussion about ROBOTS.TXT, and FAVICON.ICO, while having a standard name
is helpful, it has also created a "reserved" word out of those file names. I
personally like the way RSS Autodiscovery works, you can name the file (or
files) anything you want and simply point to those.

I personally like clean well-structured URLs, but beware of the costs of
creating "reserved"/"manditory" structures.

That's just my two cents,
