"I think you're not using routes in their purest form (to route stuff in 
the right way - rather than error trapping". 

Thing is, if you haven't supplied an integer, then there's really no 
matching action for the URL you've requested. I think that's completely in 
line with the purpose of routes. 

That is, if you supply a non-integer, then you haven't really matched any 
existing action, so you're redirected to an error or a default page.

Since PHP doesn't really have strict typing, maybe I could settle for "if 
you haven't passed the right number of parameters, there's no matching 
action".

"Why do that in two places?"

I think it could result in cleaner code since you can be sure of the type 
and amount of input you receive in each action.

Don't you agree?
