For what its worth Neil, I like like url rewriting schemes over publishing with the same physical directory structure for one reason: the urls stay the same even if the underlying organization changes. If I move from model-glue to Farcry or a bespoke solution or what have you, I can keep the same urls and just change the way that they are rewritten to accomodate the underlying structure. This is also true of switching between application servers, like php to cf. Urls should be consistent, descriptive and (optimally) not change. I find that the best way to achieve that is to abstract them away from the underlying details and consider them to be descriptors of the content to be presented.
