Slip this at the end of your config/environment.rb:

   class ActionController::Base
     class << self
       alias_method :to_param, :controller_path
     end
   end

This opens the base controller class'' singleton class and aliases the
existing controller_path method to to_param, suitable for use in  
url_for.

Please post an enhancement request at http://dev.rubyonrails.com/

Actually you might want to do

class AC::Base
   class << self
     def to_param() ''/'' + controller_path end
   end
end

so that it works properly when you''re in nested controllers. Assuming 
you use nested controllers. Does anyone use those?

In retrospect I would like to remove the assumed nesting, so if you 
wanted admin/user, you would have to say :controller =>
''admin/user'' no
matter where the current controller is.

Perhaps for Rails 2.0...
