CLEARLY, no one wants to see URLs that point do different resources
combined into one! But at the same time, it's just as clearly somewhat
misleading (and personally an annoyance) when URLs that DO point to
the same site are listed no differently from URLs that point to
different sites. I don't see how this could be effectively determined
automatically. Some kind of voting system might be more reliable, but
what happens to a user's tags when two URLs are combined? And couldn't
this be gamed or vandalized a bit?

The fact that a site can be split four ways does seem to be a problem
when it comes to making accurate recommendations. If rankings and
clustering depend in part upon influencers, then a site that is inthe
database as: http://www.foo.com/  http://foo.com/
http://www.foo.com/index.html and http://food.com/index.html has
effectively had their "place" perhaps significantly changed...
