“Good URLs are important. The best URLs are readable, reliable and hackable… There’s one aspect of URL design that is often ignored. Good URLs should be unambiguous. By that, I mean that any logical piece of content should have one and only one definitive URL, with any alternatives acting as a permanent redirect.” (Thanks Gulfstream!)
