Doesn't everyone guess these days by typing keywords into Google or into search boxes? I don't think it's practical to support URL guessing when the number of URLs maintained is large.
Which of these is the "right" guess anyway:
http://example.com/bikes/parts/wheels.html http://example.com/parts/bikes/wheels.html http://example.com/parts/wheels/bikes.html
To me, guessing only works when the site is something you're already familiar with. That's a tiny portion of the readership? I only guess portal URLs - that's still possible for d.m.o.
Yesterday I was looking for Bill Dortch's cookie libraries. I remembered it was www.hidaho.com, but when I got there: d'oh! it's gone. So much for guesses.
I reckon using doc ID's takes a lot of heat out of the d.m.o design. URL paths just aren't the big picture.
