I still don't understand why e.g.

  "http://peter.minten.name/dotgnu/forum/howitworks";

doesn't meet your needs for an URI that
a) can be used by machines for locating the server
b) signals to humans imeediately what it's about

Ok, from an RDF perspective, this additional tree strcuture that comes
from writing it with (pseudo-?)directories "dotgnu" and "forum" may be
irrelevant, but I think it'd nicely meet objective (b).

Greetings, Norbert.
