Information architecture doesn't have to have a unique url for a page. It
makes life easier for the user's location metaphor, but both url's could
quite happily be used.

In fact, if we have categories in the system, I'd expect to goto:

<category>.apache.org, ie) Jakarta

then click on 'Commons' and that would take me to
jakarta.apache.org/commons

If I went to commons.apache.org and clicked on Jakarta, I'd goto
commons.apache.org/jakarta. Underneath it would look the same.

No idea who wants to be handling the sym-linking of all this though :) Or
mod_rewrite. Am sure we have people who know how to be funky with a web
server.
