Indeed. However, they do recommend the avoidance of technology-specific
URLs as a means to achieving the ultimate goal of stable URLs.

So it's counter-productive to go around *changing* existing technology-
specific URLs to more neutral ones; but a good idea to use technology-
neutral URLs for new pages.
