I chose pattern-based rewrite because I don't know better. Please know that I am only temporary part time web coder relying on web2py book 100% with understanding at about 60%. Being a mature person I am fond of eloquence in life as well as in URL's however complexity has its price. I sense from what you are saying I should stick with parametric router or leave it alone and keep the "asset" function where it naturally is . A quick sketch of what I am having fun with:
