That URI situation is a bit ugly, I had to trade of shorter/neater  
profile URIs against being more easily able to distinguish between  
HTML pages and URIs for people. Brevity won.

I would also have like to have gone with human readable URIs (eg / 
people/Fred_Blogs) ala wikipedia, but it adds complexity in some  
areas, and we were very short of time.
