my only beef with ip/httpd is that it maps URIs to filenames
(not that it keeps me awake at night)

I've got over 500,000 URIs on one of my sites and, as such, mapping
them, even via namespaces would be the wrong approach

the world is an easier place if

http://www.thebigchoice.com/Graduate_Jobs/IT_and_Management_Systems/York

is the URI instead of

http://www.thebigchoice.com/magic/show_jobs?section=Graduate_Jobs&job_section=IT_and_Management_Systems&area=York

esp. when you factor in relative URIs in the resulting HTML
