    I agree with Richard re. folders vs categorisation. My CMS holds the content pages in a nested folder structure. There are two reasons for this:-

    1. it is an organisational/storage metaphor that users find intuitive (and which is readily converted into breadcrumbs), and

    2. it allows the system to generate REST-compliant URLs for its content pages.

    Mike Golding has blogged on REST and SOAP/web services before - see {Link}

    REST, however, can also be applied to web sites. If you want to improve the accessibility of your site, you should use REST-compliant URLs. This is one area where Domino-generated URLs are useless. Domino is a great tool for building such systems, however, so (as Richard says) we just "have to delve into our bag of tricks ...".
