[Zope] strange path "feature"

[Jens Vagelpohl]

don,

you're right. cool URIs don't change. however, the deduction that you're
left with less than total control isn't right IMHO.

of course, it is true that when someone types arbitrary URIs from a zope
site that person can come up with URIs that are not following these
conventions. but if the zope site developer takes a little care when
devising intra-site links those "changing" URIs will never appear. unless,
like i said, someone actually sat down and typed arbitrary combinations into
the browser's address field.

greetings
