Suggestions about URI format

   Hi!

The W3C suggests to "Use format negotiation to hide file extensions  
in URIs, giving you enough flexibility to change the underlying  
technology without too much pain." here: http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/ 
uri-choose#id02

Popoon/Cocoon is to my understanding perfect for this. So why not  
drop all the .html and .jpg (and any other possible similar ending)  
in Flux CMS? The blog archive uses .html which is quite allright  
since it generates HTML, for now. ;-) But that the gallery views .jpg  
in the end of the URI is rather misleading, since it's actually an  
HTML-document. Apart just from agreeing with the W3C, we can also use  
our common sense to understand that teaching our parents to remember  
an URI is easier if it doesn't have any (to them)  
cryptic .html/.something in the end.

Of course if Flux CMS would be changed to not use the .something  
endings anymore it could cause broken URI:s for people upgrading. So  
one would have to make it translate the old URI:s to the new ones or  
something... maybe just to ignore anything after the last dot in the  
URI.

   cheers, Simon
