Why You Should Be Using Disambiguated URLs

Simon Willison:

Links to (and within) your site should never, ever end with index.php / index.html / default.aspx / any default directory index filename.

The whole point those defaults is that you can link to the containing directory to see their content, resulting in a shorter and prettier URL. If you’re linking to them directly you’re missing out on a golden opportunity to disambiguate your URLs.
