I think this is also a reasonable argument. Again, I''m actually in the
camp of it "not being worth it" from an effort/gain perspective to do
fully nested URLs, but I don''t want to push that dictate on someone
else. The URL is half-ways part of the UI design and I''m very
hesistant to push UI conventions on anyone.

Rails applications should be able to look completely incognito.
