For example "Latest Mars News" for NASA, might be better served with havng an index page with a linked archive of static URLs, or permalinks for latest articles (like "/mars/news/060320.html").


I fully agree with what you're saying, but just have one minor issue. Dates in file names should always use 4 digit years (or more after y10k). I'm sure you all remember the y2k bug, let's not suffer again with a y2.1k bug. It's best practice to use ISO-8601 dates (with or without the hyphen), especially in file names and it has the advantage that sorting by name also sorts by date.

e.g. /mars/news/2006-03-20
Or maybe:
/mars/2006/03/20/article-title
