URL() tests f thus: "if f:". So f='' and f=None are treated the same way. If f is not specified (both your examples), URL() defaults to the current function (the function associated with the current request), not necessarily index. If you want to get rid of the function in the resulting URL, enable the parametric router and specify whatever the default function is for the app/controller combination. The router will omit the function name if it can do so unambiguously.
