RE: re-use of version URL's

I think I agree with Mark and will try to clarify for him...

Yes, you get stable URLs (names) for versions.
Yes, you get human meaningful names, but only really for
version-controlled resources.

The phrase "human meaningful" is probably where the disconnect is.  If
you consider the following human-meaningful, then you're right.  But I
suspect Mark doesn't consider the following particularly usable.
